Target Munc13-4 Target background Protein unc-13 homolog D (Munc13-4) is involved in cytotoxic granule exocytosis in lymphocytes. It regulates the assembly of recycling of late endosomal structures which leads to the formation of an endosomal exocytic compartment. It also regulates Ca2+-dependent secretory lysosome exocytosis in mast cells. Munc13-4 is highly expressed in the spleen, thymus and leukocytes and to a lesser extent in the lung and placenta, brain, heart, skeletal muscle and kidney. Defects in Munc13-4 are the cause of familial HL type 3 (FHL3). Target alias Protein unc-13 homolog D, hMunc13-4, UNC13D, FHL3, HLH3, HPLH3, Munc13-4, unc-13 homolog D Specificity The antibody recognizes the N-terminal of the human Munc13-4 protein (aa 1-273). Clone ID --- Preservative None Format Lyophilized serum Recommend starting dilution If reconstituted with deionized water in 50 µl: WB: 1:2000; IP: native conditions. Optimal dilution has to be determined by the user. Limitations Research Use Only Storage Lyophilized antibodies can be kept at 4ºC for up to 3 months and should be kept at -20ºC for long-term storage (2 years). To avoid freeze-thaw cycles, reconstituted antibodies should be aliquoted before freezing for long-term (1 year) storage (-80ºC) or kept at 4ºC for short-term usage (2 months). For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made with the assay buffer. After the maximum long-term storage period (2 years lyophilized or 1 year reconstituted) antibodies should be tested in your assay with a standard sample to verify if you have noticed any decrease in their efficacy. To limit antibody loss or degradation, BSA (final concentration 1%) and sodium azide (final concentration 0.02%) can be added to the suggested first dilution. It is important to first verify if those preservatives are compatible with your assay. References
