Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (75%), Rat (75%).
This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-83356. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Calpastatin is an endogenous calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease) inhibitor. It consists of an N-terminal domain L and four repetitive calpain-inhibition domains (domains 1-4), and it is involved in the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein. The calpain/calpastatin system is involved in numerous membrane fusion events, such as neural vesicle exocytosis and platelet and red-cell aggregation. The protein is also thought to affect the expression levels of genes encoding structural or regulatory proteins.
