Rabbit polyclonal antibody to DystrophinDystrophin is one of the actin-binding proteins that are involved in anchoring the cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. Dystrophin expression is found in muscle brain tissues, where it is located to the inner surface of the plasma membrane. It is suggested that alternative splicing of the caboxy terminus allows dystrophin to interact with a variety of proteins. Loss of dystrophin-associated proteins in Duchenne afflicted muscle is due to the absence of dystrophin rather than to muscle degradation and lack of dystrophin results in the loss of linkage between the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix.

Tested Applications
IHCWB
The antibody can be used for Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml) and in Immunohistochemistry (5 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects ~60 and 130 kDa of Dystrophin in samples from human, mouse and rat origins. Reactivity to other species has not been determined.:
