Format
Liquid
Concentration
0.25 mg/mL
Buffer
PBS with 0.09 % (W/V) sodium azide
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8 °C for one month or (in aliquots) at-28 °C for longer.
Parkin is thought to play a role in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway for protein degradation. The amino terminus bears sequence homology to ubiquitin while functionally it acts as a RING-type ubiquitin protein ligase (E3) that coordinates the transfer of ubiquitin to substrate proteins, thus targeting them for degradation by the proteasome. Mutations in the human version of the protein are known to cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism.
