This product detects a band of approximately 29kDa in rat cerebellum.

Specificity

This product recognizes calretinin, a 29kDa calcium binding protein found mostly in the central nervous system and retina. It is a cytoplasmic protein involved in the regulation of calcium concentration, which is important in the regulation of a large variety of neuronal functions, including neurotransmitter release, ionic channel permeability, enzyme activity, and gene transcription. Mice deficient in calretinin show impairment in motor coordination.

Calretinin has also been shown as a sensitive and specific marker for mast cells.
