Anti-CR (Calretinin)

Description:
Calretinin also known as 29 kDa calbindin is a vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein involved in calcium signaling. In humans, the calretinin protein is encoded by the CALB2 gene.
This gene encodes an intracellular calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Members of this protein family have six EF-hand domains which bind calcium. This protein plays a role in diverse cellular functions, including message targeting and intracellular calcium buffering. It also functions as a modulator of neuronal excitability, and is a diagnostic marker for some human diseases, including Hirschsprung disease and some cancers.
Calretinin is abundantly expressed in neurons and in hair follicles.

Storage: Store at -20 °C for one year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
