Mouse monoclonal [3F133] to Clathrin light chainVarious cell types express both forms of clathrin LC in different relative levels. LCs are randomly distributed on clathrin triskelion, resulting in four types of clathrin triskelion with different LC composition (3LCa, 2LCa 1LCb, 2LCb-1LCa, 3LCb). In most cells, the LCa form is dominant. In contrast, cells with a regulated secretory pathway contain more LCb than LCa, suggesting that LCb may play a role in the specialized clathrin functions in these cells. Neuronal cells, express splicing variants of both LCa and LCb. A distinguishing feature of the LCb light chain is its ability to be phosphorylated by a casein kinase, at a site which is not present in the LCa sequence.

Tested Applications
ICC/IFIHC-PIPWB
IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution. IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 1 - 2 μg/ml for 30 min at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min. IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution with protein A. WB: Use at a concentration of 1 - 2 μg/ml for 2hrs at RT. Predicted molecular weight: 28 kDa. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
