Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse Desmin Antibody

Desmin antibody in Human Heart by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Desmin in Human Heart.

Desmin was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human heart using 15 µg/mL Human Desmin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3844) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific labeling was localized to the sarcoplasm of cardiomyocytes. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
Desmin antibody in Mouse Skeletal Muscle by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

Desmin in Mouse Skeletal Muscle.

Desmin was detected in immersion fixed frozen sections of mouse skeletal muscle using Human Desmin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3844) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to z-lines.

Background: Desmin

Desmin is a 53 kDa, muscle-specific molecule that belongs to the intermediate filament superfamily of cytoskeletal proteins. Cytoplasmic Desmin homopolymers form stable filamentous networks that stabilize lateral alignments of myofibrils. Human Desmin is 470 amino acid (aa) peptide. It contains an N-terminal head segment (aa 1-84), multiple coiled regions (aa 109-412), and a tail region (aa 413-470). Single amino acid substitutions and three-amino acid deletions are associated with cardio‑skeletal myopathies. Most mutations affect filament assembly. Desmin is a highly conserved protein. Over the region used as immunogen, human Desmin is 99% identical to the corresponding mouse, canine, and porcine protein sequences.
