Calretinin, encoded by the CALB2 gene, is a calcium-binding protein belonging to the EF-hand family that plays essential roles in calcium signaling and neuronal function. This protein serves as a well-established marker for specific neuronal populations, particularly in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and has gained significant importance in diagnostic pathology for identifying mesothelioma and certain neuroendocrine tumors. Its expression pattern makes it a valuable tool for researchers investigating calcium homeostasis, neuronal development, and tumor classification.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human CALB2, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding research applications require. As a recombinant antibody with a defined sequence, it provides exceptional lot-to-lot reproducibility, ensuring that your experimental conditions remain stable across long-term studies and collaborative projects. The rabbit IgG format and affinity-chromatography purification deliver high specificity for detecting calretinin in human samples.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance in both immunofluorescence and flow cytometry applications using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, a relevant model for neuronal research. Immunofluorescence staining reveals clear cytoplasmic localization when used at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200, while flow cytometry analysis shows distinct positive population shifts compared to isotype controls, confirming specific target recognition. These validated applications provide flexibility for researchers working with fixed and permeabilized cell preparations.
This antibody supports investigations into calcium-dependent signaling pathways, neuronal marker expression studies, and cancer research where calretinin serves as a diagnostic indicator. Its demonstrated performance in cellular assays makes it particularly suited for characterizing neuronal cell populations and examining CALB2 expression patterns in relevant disease models.
