This product recognizes the human calcitonin receptor, a membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains that is coupled to G protein messenger systems. This antibody recognizes an epitope within the cytoplasmic domain that is common to both C1a and C1b human isoforms.
Calcitonin receptor is expressed in kidney, central and peripheral nervous systems and on osteoclasts. It is also expressed in a number of tissues during the development of the embryo and may be important in fetal morphogenesis.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
Immunogen:
