Our Anti-Alpha II Spectrin primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is rabbit polyclonal. It detects human, mouse, and rat Alpha II Spectrin and is serum. It is great for use in WB, IHC, ICC.
Immunofluorescence of cultured neurons and glia cells showing specific labeling of neuronal perikarya, axons and dendrites with anti-alpha-II-spectrin (cat. 99-A2SR, 1:1000, green), specific labeling of intermediate filaments in glial and fibroblastic cells with anti-vimentin (cat. 2105-VIM, 1:5000, red) and nuclear staining with DAPI (blue).
The spectrin family of cytoskeletal proteins is comprised of 2 alpha genes (α1 and α2) and five beta genes (β1-β5). Spectrins have been shown to function as scaffolding proteins in mechanical support of the plasma membrane as well as bind other membrane proteins and lipids (Bennett and Baines 2001). Defects in spectrin genes have been linked to some forms of hereditary spherocytosis, a type of auto-hemolytic anemia which is characterized by spherical red blood cells that are more prone to lysis (Eber and Lux 2004).
