Specificity |  | The cell adhesion molecule L1 is a 200-220 kD protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It participates in a wide variety of neuronal functions including migration, outgrowth, synaptogenesis and myelination. This monoclonal antibody was raised against purified chick L1, and binds to the L1 cytoplasmic domain at about T1172 (adjacent to the YRSL sorting signal). Phosphorylation of either T1172 or Y1176 strongly inhibits binding of 74-5H7 to the L1 cytoplasmic domain. |
Uses |  | This antibody is effective in immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemistry. |
Suggested Working Dilution |  | The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition. This antibody is sold for laboratory research use only, not for human or in-vivo use. Covance antibodies may not be resold or modified for resale without prior written approval.
