Neural Signaling

Neural Signaling

Alomone Labs offers one of the most comprehensive, in-house-made portfolios of primary antibodies supporting neural signaling research, generated in rabbit and guinea pig hosts. Our collection spans key components of synaptic and neuronal communication, including adhesion molecules, neuropeptides and their receptors, synaptic scaffold proteins, and other signaling regulators. All antibodies are produced and rigorously validated internally to ensure high specificity and reliable performance in applications such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and ELISA. To enable advanced imaging and multiplex analyses, we also provide an expanding selection of fluorophore-conjugated antibody options.

  • The expected molecular weight (MW) listed in the product datasheet is based solely on the size of the target protein’s amino acid sequence. It’s important to remember that many factors can affect the banding pattern of your western blot including: (1) the existence of a splice variant, (2) the quality of the loaded sample, (3) the protein extraction method, and (4) the protein transfer conditions. To achieve accurate results, you may need to systematically adjust the protein extraction method or the protein transfer conditions.

    • If the band’s MW is below the expected MW it could be due to a splice variant with a slightly different MW.
      • Heat the samples at 70°C for 10 min.
      • Increase the transfer time.
    • If the band’s MW is above the expected MW, it could be due to post-translational modifications.
    • In either event, you should use a blocking peptide as a negative control.

  • Some toxins and peptides are soluble in DMSO; you can find this information in the product specification section. For these products, prepare a concentrated stock solution first.

    1. Centrifuge vial (10,000 x g, 5 minutes) before adding solvent.
    2. Dissolve the lyophilized reagent in DMSO. We recommend keeping a concentrated stock solution at 1-10 mM (100-1000X higher than the final working concentration).
    3. Once the peptide is completely dissolved in DMSO, slowly dilute the peptide in pure water (or buffer) to the desired final working concentration.

    Note: We recommend that you maintain a DMSO concentration as low as possible. For cell assays, a final concentration of 0.1–0.5% DMSO (v/v) is considered acceptable. For other experiments, 5% DMSO (v/v) is recommended; adjust this according to your experimental requirements.
