Provider: Invitrogen Antibodies
Product name: CACNA2D1 Monoclonal Antibody (20A)
Antibody type: Monoclonal
Antigen: Purifed from natural sources
Description: MA3-921 detects 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor alpha-2 subunit from human, rat, mouse, guinea pig and rabbit skeletal and cardiac muscle. MA3-921 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a 220 kDa protein under non-reducing and a 143 kDa protein under reducing conditions representing DHP from rabbit skeletal muscle membrane preparations. Immunohistochemical staining of DHP in rabbit skeletal muscle with MA3-921 results in double rows of discrete punctate staining representing pairs of triads on the opposing sides of the Z-lines. The MA3-921 antigen is purified rabbit DHP receptor.

Experimental details: Western blot analysis of Dihydropyridine Receptor alpha-2 was performed by loading 25 µg of U87-MG (lane 1) and mouse brain (lane 2) cell lysates onto an SDS polyacrylamide gel. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked at 4ºC overnight. The membrane was probed with a Dihydropyridine Receptor alpha-2 monoclonal antibody (Product # MA3-921) at a dilution of 1:1000 overnight at 4°C, washed in TBST, and probed with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 hr at room temperature in the dark. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Product # 32132). Results show a band at ~143 kDa.

Experimental details: Western blot was performed using CACNA2D1 Monoclonal Antibody (20A) (Product # MA3-921) and a ~140 kDa band corresponding to CACNA2D1 was observed along with few uncharacterized bands (*) in the range of 80 kDa – 15 kDa. Whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of SH-SY5Y (Lane 1) A549 (Lane 2), PC-12 (Lane3), PC-12 differentiated to neurons (Lane 4) and tissue extract of Mouse Brain (Lane 5) and Mouse Liver (Lane 6) were electrophoresed using NuPAGE® 4-12 % Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0322BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Product # IB23001) by iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001).The blot was probed with the primary antibody (1:1000 dilution) and detected by chemiluminescence with Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A28177, 1:4000 dilution) using the iBright FL 1000 (Product # A32752). Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Novex® ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate Reagent Kit (Product # WP20005).

Experimental details: Immunohistochemistry was performed on normal biopsies of deparaffinized human skeletal muscle tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1:100 with a Mouse Monoclonal Antibody recognizing Dihydropyridine Receptor alpha-2 (Product # MA3-921) or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

Experimental details: Figure 1 Expression of NCX1 and other Ca handling proteins in atrial-specific NCX1 knockout mice. A . Immunoblot (top) of mouse atrial (A) and ventricular (V) homogenate using an antibody to NCX1 in wildtype control (C) and atrial-specific NCX1 KO mice. There is complete absence of NCX1 protein in the immunoblot. The new band in the KO lanes at ~110 kDa represents nonfunctional NCX in KO atria after excision of exon 11 by Cre recombinase [13] . Ventricular expression of NCX1 is unaffected in atrial-specific KO mice. The bottom panel shows immunofluorescence of isolated SAN node myocytes from control (C) and KO hearts. Myocytes were co-immunolabled with antibodies against HCN4 and NCX1. Both control and KO SAN cells stained positive for HCN4, but only control SAN cells showed staining of NCX at the membrane. B . Immunoblots of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase (SERCA), plasma membrane Ca pump (PMCA; the lower band at 72 kDa represents an active proteolytic fragment), and dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) in control (C) and NCX1 KO atria. Note the reduction in SERCA and the increase in PMCA and DHPR in KO.

Experimental details: Fig 8 The p.Leu125Pro mutation impairs complex formation of beta 4b with P/Q-type Ca V 2.1 and L-type Ca V 1.2 channels. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with beta 4b -V5 or beta 4b -L125P-V5 expression construct, mouse alpha2delta-1 expression construct and GFP-Ca v 1.2 or GFP-Ca v 2.1 (alpha 1 subunits) expression construct as indicated. beta 4b -V5 or beta 4b -L125P-V5 was immunoprecipitated with V5-coupled Protein G dynabeads. As control, lysates from cells only transfected with beta 4b -V5 or beta 4b -L125P-V5 construct were incubated with an anti-normal mouse IgG antibody coupled to Dynabeads. Co-precipitated GFP-tagged alpha 1 subunit was detected by anti-GFP antibody. beta 4b -V5 proteins were detected by anti-V5-HRP or anti-beta 4 antibody. Ectopically expressed (mouse) and endogenous (human) alpha2delta-1 were detected by anti-alpha2delta-1 antibody (input, right panel). The band at ~55 kDa corresponds to the heavy chain of the IgG antibody and is marked by an asterisk in the immunoblots of the co-immunoprecipitation (IP V5; left panel). A representative blot of four (Ca V 1.2) and three (Ca V 2.1) independent experiments is shown.

(c and d) qPCR detection of relative expressions of CACNA2D1 and miR-107 in adjacent normal tissues and LSCC tissues (* P < 0.05). It was easily observed that they are inversely related to normal and LSCC tissues. LSCC, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma; miR-107, microRNA-107; WB, Western blot.
