Key features and details  | |
Cat. No.  | MABL-1908  | 
Name  | Anti-Human Muscle Acetylcholine Receptor mAbs  | 
Clone No.  | AFD- mAb 192  | 
From  | Recombinant Antibody  | 
Isotype  | Engineer antibody  | 
Application  | Blocking, WB, ELISA  | 
Species Reactivity  | Rat, Human, Mouse  | 
Basic Information  | |
Specificity  | The antibody binds to human muscle AChR with a Kd of 10 pM, to mouse muscle AChR with a Kd of 50 pM, and to rat muscle AChR with a Kd of 646 nM.  | 
Alternative Name  | AChR  | 
UniProt  | P02708 (For the alpha-subunit)  | 
Immunogen  | Human muscle AChR.  | 
Application Notes  | This antibody binds to the human muscle Acetylcholine receptor, which is a ligand- gated ion channel, transducing an action potential into the muscle cells. The antibody binds to the main immunogenic region (MIR) and prevents ligand-binding.  |
