Target GliPr1L1 Target background GliPr1L1 was identified as a lipid raft associated protein in cauda epididymal spermatozoa. GliPr1L1 is present in testis and associated with spermatazoa along the epididymis. This protein may undergo post-translational modifications during transit along the epididymis, and may ultimately be involved in the binding of spermatozoa to oocytes. Target alias Glioma pathogenesis-related 1-like protein 1 Immunogen Truncated recombinant GliPr1L1 bovine protein (fragment aa 31-219) Specificity The antibody recognizes the bovine GliPr1L1 protein. Clone ID --- Preservative None Format Lyophilized serum Recommend starting dilution If reconstituted with deionized water in 100 µl: WB: 1:10,000; IF: 1: 1,000. 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
