Cardiotrophin 1 (CTF1) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, FN, WB
Recommend Dilution	Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hCardiotrophin-1 (15.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.25-0.40 µg/ml of this antibody is required. ELISA: To detect hCardiotrophin-1 by direct ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hCardiotrophin-1. Western Blot: To detect hCardiotrophin-1 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hCardiotrophin-1 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Background	Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a cardiac hypertrophic factor, is a 21.5 kDa protein member of the IL-6 cytokine family. CT-1 is associated with the pathophysiology of heart diseases, including hypertension, myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease, and congestive heart failure. The protein exerts its cellular effects by interacting with the glycoprotein 130 (gp130)/leukemia inhibitory factor receptor beta (LIFR) heterodimer. In addition, CT-1 activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3 kinase) in cardiac myocytes and enhances transcription factor NF kappa B DNA -binding activities. CT-1 is highly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle, prostate and ovary and to lower levels in lung, kidney, pancreas, thymus, testis and small intestine.
Synonyms	CT-1, CTF1
Note	Centrifuge vial prior to opening!
