Scientific Data

Western Blot Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat Parvalbumin a antibody by Western Blot. View Larger

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat Parvalbumin alpha by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human, mouse, and rat brain tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Parvalbumin a Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5058) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Parvalbumin a at approximately 12 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

Parvalbumin alpha in Human Brain. Parvalbumin a was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (cortex) using 5 µg/mL Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Parvalbumin a Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5058) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Background: Parvalbumin alpha

Parvalbumin (Parvalbumin alpha ) is a 12 kDa member of the parvalbumin family of Ca++-binding proteins. In human, it is expressed in intrafusal muscle fibers, plus GABAergic interneurons and cerebellar Purkinje and basket cells. It presumably acts as a Ca++ buffer that shortens the duration of fiber contraction. Human Parvalbumin is 110 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two EF-hand domains (aa 39-74 and 78-110) that bind calcium. There are three potential isoform variants. One shows an alternate start site at Met33, a second shows a six aa substitution for the C-terminal nine amino acids and a third shows a deletion of Gly99-Val100. Human Parvalbumin  alpha is 51% aa identical to human Parvalbumin beta and is 87% plus 92% aa identical to mouse and rat Parvalbumin, respectively.
