CRYGS Antibody (C-term)
taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class
constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains
the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens
central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these
crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them
extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided
into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins
are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are
further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions
exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide,
and N- and C-terminal extensions. Gamma-crystallins are a
homogeneous group of highly symmetrical, monomeric proteins
typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions. They
are differentially regulated after early development. This gene
encodes a protein initially considered to be a beta-crystallin but
the encoded protein is monomeric and has greater sequence
similarity to other gamma-crystallins. This gene encodes the most
significant gamma-crystallin in adult eye lens tissue. Whether due
to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have
been involved in cataract formation.

Product Notes
The CRYGS crygs (Catalog #AAA9206229) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 133-162. The CRYGS Antibody (C-term) reacts with Human, mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CRYGS can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CRYGS crygs for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CRYGS, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
