"TC Supernatant" vs. "Purified"

TC Supernatant
Hybridoma tissue-culture supernatant (5mL) generally containing 10-50 ug/mL monoclonal antibody (clone-dependent) can be a very economical choice. Supernatant is suitable for most applications including Western Blot, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry etc. For applications requiring higher antibody concentration or purity (such as immunoprecipitation, microinjection, or conjugation) it is recommended that you purchase the purified form of the antibody (supplied at 1mg/mL).

Purified mAbs
Produced by in vitro bioreactor culture of hybridoma lines followed by Protein A affinity chromatography. Purified mAbs are >90% specific antibody at 1mg/mL.

Target Description:

Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C or Cav1.2 calcium channel (other names include as CACNA1C, CACH2, CACN2, CACNL1A1, CCHL1A1 ) is a calcium channel encoded by the gene CACNA1C. It is a member of the L type voltage dependent calcium channel family. These calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into a cell upon membrane polarization. Cav1.2 is expressed in many tissues including smooth muscle, liver, kidney brain and heart. In brain, it can be detected in the hippocampus and brain cortex in the post-synaptic density and in neuronal cell bodies. Calcium channels are involved in many cell processes including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell division and cell death. Mutations in the Cav1.2 gene have been associated with Timothy syndrome, Brugada syndrome 3 and Long QT syndrome 8.

Immunogen:

Fusion protein amino acids 808-874 (cytoplasmic loop between repeat II and III) of rat Cav1.2 (also known as Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C, CACNA1C, CACH2, CACN2, CACNL1A1, CCHL1A1, Brain class C and MELC-CC, accession number Q5S007) Mouse: 100% identity (67/67 amino acids identical)
Human: 86% identity (58/67 amino acids identical) <50% identity with other Cav1 channels
