Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP12 Antibody

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP12 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP12 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of Neuro-2A mouse neuroblastoma cell line, Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line, and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL Rat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP12 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB3777) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF005). For additional reference, Recombinant Human FKBP12 (Catalog # 3777-FK), recombinant human FKBP12.6, and recombinant human FKBP13 (5 ng/lane) were included. A specific band for FKBP12 was detected at approximately 12 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 3.

FKBP12 was translocated from axonal hillock to soma and colocalized to oTau.(A) Representative images of tau phosphorylation (CP13 antibody, red) and FKBP12 translocation in primary cortical neurons after induction of tau aggregation by oligomeric S1p fraction. Scale bars, 20 μm. (B) Representative images showed the high expression level of FKBP12 (green) in axonal hillock/axon initial segment (labeled by anti–ankyrin-G antibody, bright blue) under basal conditions whereas FKBP12 translocated to soma and dendrites when neurons bear tau aggregation. Scale bars, 20 μm. (C) Representative images showed the spatial colocalization of FKBP12 and aggregated Tau in the neurons after 24 hours of oTau seeding. Scale bars, 5 μm. DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. (D) Quantification of FKBP12 intensity in the axon hillock of the neurons at 3 and 24 hours of S1p treatment, respectively. Data are expressed as means ± SEM.

Background: FKBP12

FK506 binding protein, 12 kilodalton molecular weight (FKBP12), also called FKBP1, was originally characterized as a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that catalyzes the transition between cis- and trans-proline residues critical for proper folding of proteins. Proline isomerase activity was demonstrated but not used for quality control. The macrolide immunosuppressants FK506 (Tacrolimus) and rapamycin bind to FKBP12 with high affinity, while the structurally related compound cyclosporine binds with a much lower affinity (1). The binding of these drugs causes FKBP12 to become a potent inhibitor of calcineurin phosphatase activity (2) and TOR kinase activity (3). The inhibition of protein phosphatase activity is highly selective for calcineurin (2), making the FK506/FKBP12 complex a useful tool in the study of this enzyme. Knockout mice lacking FKBP12 are morphologically normal, but develop cardiomyopathies that may be related to dysregulation of ryanodyne receptors (4).
