Product Name :
Apaf-1 polyclonal antibody Background :
The mammalian homologs of the Ced-4 proteins, Apaf-1 (Ced-4), Nod1 (CARD4), and Nod2 contain a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and a putative nucleotide binding domain, signified by a consensus Walker's A box (P-loop) and B box (Mg²⁺-binding site). Nod1 contains a putative regulatory domain and multiple leucine-rich repeats. Nod1 is a member of a growing family of intracellular proteins which share structural homology to the apoptosis regulator Apaf-1. Nod1 associates with the CARD-containing kinase RICK and activates NFkB. The self-association of Nod1 mediates proximity of RICK and the interaction of RICK with IKKg. In addition, Nod-1 binds to multiple caspases with long prodomains, but specifically activates caspase-9 and promotes caspase-9-induced apoptosis. Nod2 is composed of two N-terminal CARDs, a nucleotide-binding domain, and multiple C-terminal leucine-rich repeats. The expression of Nod2 is highly restricted to monocytes, and activates NFkB in response to bacterial lipopoly-saccharides. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
