Calpain-1, encoded by the CAPN1 gene, is a calcium-dependent cysteine protease that plays fundamental roles in cellular processes including signal transduction, cell migration, apoptosis, and cytoskeletal remodeling. As the catalytic subunit of the heterodimeric calpain-1 complex, this enzyme requires micromolar calcium concentrations for activation and participates in the controlled proteolysis of numerous substrates. Dysregulation of calpain-1 activity has been implicated in various pathological conditions, making it a significant target for researchers investigating cancer biology, neurodegeneration, and cellular stress responses.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6D9, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human CAPN1, the antibody is produced using recombinant technology, ensuring sequence-defined specificity and eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies. The rabbit IgG format provides excellent signal-to-noise characteristics across multiple detection platforms.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance in immunohistochemistry, where the antibody produces clear cytoplasmic staining in paraffin-embedded human prostate cancer tissue at dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200. Immunofluorescence applications have been confirmed using MCF-7 breast cancer cells, revealing distinct cellular localization patterns. Flow cytometry validation in BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells shows excellent separation from isotype controls, enabling quantitative analysis of CAPN1 expression at the single-cell level.
The antibody is supplied in a stabilized liquid format with glycerol for convenient long-term storage at -20°C or -80°C. Whether investigating calpain-1 involvement in tumor progression, examining its role in cellular proliferation pathways, or characterizing expression patterns across tissue samples, this antibody provides a reliable tool for advancing your research.
