Calponin 1 antibody recognizes Calponin 1, an actin-binding protein encoded by the CNN1 gene and a widely used marker of smooth muscle differentiation. Calponin 1 Antibody Recombinant Rabbit MAb (clone CNN1/8870R) is engineered through recombinant expression to promote consistent performance in research applications. Calponin 1 localizes predominantly to the cytoplasm of smooth muscle cells, where it associates with actin filaments and regulates contractile function and cytoskeletal stability.
Calponin 1 antibody, also referred to as CNN1 antibody and basic calponin antibody in the literature, targets a member of the calponin family of actin-binding proteins. Calponin 1 contains calponin homology domains and actin-binding regions that facilitate interaction with actin, tropomyosin, and other contractile proteins. Through these interactions, Calponin 1 modulates actomyosin ATPase activity and supports maintenance of the contractile phenotype in differentiated smooth muscle cells.
CNN1 expression is characteristic of vascular smooth muscle, gastrointestinal smooth muscle, uterine myometrium, and myoepithelial cells of glandular tissues such as breast and salivary gland. The expected immunostaining pattern is cytoplasmic positivity in smooth muscle layers and myoepithelial cell populations. Because of this lineage-restricted distribution, Calponin 1 serves as a reliable research marker for identifying smooth muscle and myoepithelial differentiation in normal tissues.
In tumor biology research, Calponin 1 expression is frequently evaluated in studies of leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, myoepithelial tumors, and other mesenchymal neoplasms. Cytoplasmic staining supports smooth muscle or myoepithelial lineage, whereas most non-mesenchymal epithelial malignancies demonstrate limited or absent expression. Calponin 1 Antibody Recombinant Rabbit MAb (clone CNN1/8870R) enables consistent detection of Calponin 1 expression patterns in normal and neoplastic tissues for research use at NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the Calponin 1 antibody recombinant rabbit mAb should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant fragment corresponding to the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Calponin 1 antibody recombinant rabbit mAb.
Aliquot the Calponin 1 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
