Product Notes
Conjugated primary antibodies can be good options or alternatives to secondary antibody's for detecting a target protein. The lab manufactures a conjugated antibody from a primary parent antibody by attaching (conjugating) an available tag such as a fluorophore or protein, allowing detection of the target protein without using a secondary antibody. Conjugated primary antibodies may potentially be used to replace primary/secondary antibody pairs in various applications, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Flow Cytometry, Fluorescence-activated cell sorting, F?rster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, or Western Blot. The suitability of applications for conjugates are user determined and we cannot guarantee that any antibody-conjugate combination has been tested for use in a particular application.
Please note: Conjugate tags may potentially bind in the antibody paratope, which can limit binding of the antibody to the antigen. Binding in the antibody paratope may affect the ability of the antibody to bind to the corresponding antigen (protein target) in various species and applications. There is no way to confirm or guarantee the location of the antibody tag as we cannot control the binding of the conjugate to the antibody. Researchers are responsible for evaluating antibody conjugates for the suitability of their applications.

anti-ALPHA2CAR antibody
The alpha 2C Adrenergic Receptor controls the release of neurotransmitter from central adrenergic neurons and from sympathetic nerves in the heart. This receptor also plays a role in cognitive and behavioral function. Two variants are produced by alternative splicing. Alpha 2C Adrenergic Receptor has been reported extensively in the brain. Blood, corpus cavermosum, kidney, and heart tissues have also been reported to express the protein.

NCBI Summary for ALPHA2CAR
Alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. They include 3 highly homologous subtypes: alpha2A, alpha2B, and alpha2C. These receptors have a critical role in regulating neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. The mouse studies revealed that both the alpha2A and alpha2C subtypes were required for normal presynaptic control of transmitter release from sympathetic nerves in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons. The alpha2A subtype inhibited transmitter release at high stimulation frequencies, whereas the alpha2C subtype modulated neurotransmission at lower levels of nerve activity. This gene encodes the alpha2C subtype, which contains no introns in either its coding or untranslated sequences. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
