Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-HuD [15A9] (ChIP Grade)
  • Alternate names: ELAV-like protein 4
  • Clone: 15A9
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: ChIP ; ELISA ; IHC ; IP ; WB
  • Description: HuD otherwise known as ELAV-like protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL4 gene. The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an RNA-binding protein. HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to AU-rich element-containing mRNAs. As a result of this interaction the half-life of the transcript is increased. HuD is important in neurons during brain development and plasticity. Monoclonal 15A9 was generated against a unique HuD peptide and does not react with HuR, HuC, or Hel-N1. Monoclonal 15A9 works well in western blot, IHC and provides an excellent marker for neuronal cells. However, it was specifically selected becasue of its abiity to supershift HuD/mRNA ribonucleoprotein complexes. Thus, it is the ideal reagent for CHIP or RIP studies to specifically identify novel HuD targets in neuronal cells.
