9C3_PURE_Nicastrin_Antibody_1_WB_032318
Western blot of anti-Nicastrin antibody (clone 9C3) and isotype-matched control mouse IgG2b. Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20 µg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 20 µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 4: 20 μg of rat brain lysate. The blots were incubated with 0.5 μg/mL of anti-Nicastrin or mouse IgG overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system. In human the antibody also detects the deglycosylated nicastrin.

Description

Nicastrin is one of the essential components of the γ-secretase complex. The γ-secretase complex is one of the proteases involved in processing amyloid precursor protein (APP) to amyloid beta (Aβ). Nicastrin is not catalytically active, instead, it promotes the maturation and localization of other catalytic and regulatory units of the γ-secretase complex. Nicastrin has alsp been reported to regulate neprilysin, which is the enzyme involved in the degradation of Aβ fragment.
