Product Data

• Clone Name: HDC8A4
• Applications: IHC, IP, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections.
  Immunoprecipitation.
  Western blot.
• Reactivities: Human, Mouse, Rabbit
• Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: Recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 2703 - 2911 of huntingtin
• Specificity: This antibody reacts with an epitope corresponding to the HDC region (2703 - 2911 amino acids) of the huntingtin protein. Clone HDC8A4 detects a 350KD band on western blots but also detects smaller degradation products of huntingtin. Clone HDC8A4 recognises both denatured and native huntingtin in human brain. The combined use of clone HDC8A4 (SM1662), HDB4E10 (SM1661) and HDA3E10 (SM1660) demonstrate that huntingtin is enriched in neuronal cells in the brain.

• Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanding polyglutamine repeat in the huntingtin gene. HD is a mid-life onset autosomal dominant neurodegeneative disease that is characterized by psychiatric disorders, dementia, and involuntary movements (chorea), leading to death in 10-20 years. The HD gene product is widely expressed in human tissues, with the highest level of expression in the brain. The huntingtin gene product is expressed at similar levels in patients and controls, which suggests that the expansion of the polyglutamine repeat induces a toxic gain of function perhaps through interactions with other cellular proteins. Using yeast two-hybrid system, HAP1 (huntingtin associated protein 1) has been identified, that associates with huntingtin protein. The In vitro data suggest that the association between HAP1 and huntingtin is enhanced by increasing length of glutamine repeat.
