Coatomer proteins are involved in regulating transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex and in intra-Golgi transport.
There exist two coatomer-protein mechanisms (COP I and COP II) and although they have mechanistic parallels, they are molecularly distinct.
The COP I coat is comprised of seven subunits (alpha-, beta-, beta'-, gamma-, delta-, epsilon-, and zeta-COP) in a complex called coatomer.
Assembly of the coatomer (COP I) onto non-clathrin coated vesicles is regulated by ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF).
Vesicle formation, budding, fusion, and disassembly is dependent on GDP-GTP exchange, COP I, and ARF.
COP I has been shown to facilitate retrograde intracellular transport from the ER to the Golgi complex.
By contrast, COPII facilitates anterograde transport between these subcellular organelles.
COP II has been shown to be independently and selectively recruited to the ER relative to COP I subunits.
Application:Suitable for use in Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence and Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: 3ug/ml, staining of alpha COP I using C7900-45 results in alpha COP localization to the Golgi complex and to distinct vesicular structures scattered throughout the cytoplasm
Western Blot: 1ug/ml, detects an ~140kD protein representing COPI alpha from PC-12 cell extract.
Also detects an unidentified protein at ~100kD.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Store at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
