Properties Form Liquid Storage instructions Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage buffer Preservative: None Constituents: 2% Sucrose, PBS Purity Protein A purified Clonality Polyclonal Isotype IgG Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab58640 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application ICC/IF Abreviews Notes Use a concentration of 10 µg/ml. 1 Application Abreviews WB Notes Use a concentration of 1.25 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 54 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 54 kDa). Good results were obtained when blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in 0.05% PBS-T. IHC-P Use a concentration of 4 - 8 µg/ml. Target Function Catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of NAD. It is the rate limiting component in the mammalian NAD biosynthesis pathway. Tissue specificity Expressed in large amounts in bone marrow, liver tissue, and muscle. Also present in heart, placenta, lung, and kidney tissues. Pathway Cofactor biosynthesis; NAD(+) biosynthesis; nicotinamide D-ribonucleotide from 5-phosphoalpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate and nicotinamide: step 1/1. Sequence similarities Belongs to the NAPRTase family. Cellular localization Cytoplasm. Anti-Visfatin antibody images Anti-Visfatin antibody (ab58640) at 1.25 µg/ml + Jurkat cell lysate at 10 µg with 5% skim milk in PBS buffer Secondary HRP conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG at 1/50000 dilution Predicted band size : 54 kDa Observed band size : 54 kDa Gel concentration: 12% Western blot - PBEF antibody (ab58640) 2 ab58640 at a 4.0µg/ml staining PBEF in the epithelial cells of human renal tubules (indicated with arrows). Magnification: 400X Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Visfatin antibody (ab58640) ICC/IF image of ab58640 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab58640, 10µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to Anti-PBEF antibody (ab58640) stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
