Description: Cardiotin is a high molecular weight protein complex (300 kDa) loCated in the mitochondria of cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle. The cardiotin structure exists of subunits of 60 kDa and 100 kDa, probably in a tetrameric configuRation. Both subunits contain the same amino-terminal 14 amino-acid sequence, showing high homology to Human skeletal muscle α-actinin. During cardiac contractile dysfunction and myocard cell differentiation, the cardiotin distribution is affected. Compared to other structural proteins, cardiotin is one of the first to respond to insults (ischemia, fibrillation) that influence the functional status of cardiomyocytes.

The antibody is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C. For prolonged storage prepare appropriate aliquots and store at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product.
SR-2 is useful for immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue and immunoblotting. In immunoblotting assays SR-2 reacts with the 300 kDa cardiotin protein complex and its 100 kDa and 60 kDa subunits. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration; recommended range is 1:25 - 1:100 for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated Horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:50 - 1:500 for immunoblotting applications.
