Anti-Alpha II Spectrin Antibody (3D7)
Our Anti-Alpha II Spectrin primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is mouse monoclonal. It detects bovine, human, mouse, and rat Alpha II Spectrin and is Protein G purified. It is great for use in WB, IHC, ICC.
Immunofluorescence of a section of rat cerebellum selectively labeling the submembraneous cytoskeleton on neurons and cell bodies and dendrites of Purkinje cells with alpha-II-spectrin (Cat. 98-A2SM, 1:2000, green) and labeling the processes of Bergmann glia and astrocytes with anti-GFAP (Cat. 621-GFAP, 1:5000, red).

Product Details
Alpha II Spectrin
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).

UniProt Summary: Fodrin, which seems to be involved in secretion, interacts with calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner and is thus candidate for the calcium-dependent movement of the cytoskeleton at the membrane.
