Cardiotin Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Cardiotin is a high molecular weight protein complex (300 kDa) loCated in the mitochondria of cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle. The cardiotin structure exists of subunits of 60 kDa and 100 kDa, probably in a tetrameric configuRation. Both subunits contain the same amino-terminal 14 amino-acid sequence, showing high homology to Human skeletal muscle alpha-actinin. During cardiac contractile dysfunction and myocard cell differentiation, the cardiotin distribution is affected. Compared to other structural proteins, cardiotin is one of the first to respond to insults (ischemia, fibrillation) that influence the functional status of cardiomyocytes.

Small volumes of anti-Cardiotin antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
