BD, 610518, Purified Mouse Anti-Glutamine Synthetase 6/Glutamine Synthetase

Glutamine synthetase catalyzes the amination of glutamic acid to form glutamine. It is found in mammals as an octamer of identical 45 kDa subunits. Glutamine synthetase activity is a useful marker for astrocytes and an important differentiation feature in retina. It is also considered to be a key enzyme in the recycling of the neurotransmitter glutamate.

Store undiluted at -20°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
5. Triton is a trademark of the Dow Chemical Company.
6. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
