Product Information

Product Usage Information

This product is the carrier free version of product #14997. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Formulation

Supplied in 1X PBS, BSA and Azide Free.

For standard formulation of this product see product #14997

Storage

Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

Specificity / Sensitivity

MCU (D2Z3B) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total MCU protein. The antibody non-specifically labels the nucleus in fixed frozen mouse brain by immunofluorescence.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human MCU protein.

Background

The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) is an inner membrane transport protein that is essential for the regulation of calcium uptake and the maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis (1). MCU is responsible for the rapid transport of calcium ions across the inner membrane and into the mitochondrial matrix, taking advantage of the membrane potential generated by the electron transport chain. Subsequent release of calcium from the matrix through antiporter proteins regulates a number of biological processes, including signal transduction, bioenergetics, and cell death and survival (2,3). The MCU protein contains a pair of transmembrane domains with both carboxy- and amino-terminal ends within the mitochondrial matrix (3). The surrounding uniporter complex contains a number of proteins that regulate calcium ion transport, including the mitochondrial calcium uniporter regulator 1 (MCUR1), mitochondrial calcium uptake proteins 1 and 2 (MICU1, MICU2), and the essential MCU regulator EMRE (3). MICU1 stabilizes the closed state of the transport complex and preserves the normal mitochondrial calcium concentration below the equilibrium level during resting conditions (4). The MCUR1 protein is an essential regulator of calcium uptake, with decreased ion transport in cells with reduced MCUR1 expression (2). EMRE is also essential for MCU transport function where it functions as bridge between MCU uniporter activity and the calcium-sensing MICU1/2 proteins (5).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).
