MaxLight(TM)490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight(TM)488, Alexa Fluor(TM)488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm), Emission (515nm), Extinction Coefficient 73,000. Nectins are immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecules that interact with afadin. Afadin is an actin filament-binding protein that connects nectins to the actin cytoskeleton. The nectin-afadin system organizes adherens junctions cooperatively with the cadherin-catenin system in epithelial cells. The nectin/PRR-family consists of four members, nectin-1, -2, -3 and -4. All the members of the nectin family have two or three slice variants. Nectin 3 is mainly expressed in testis and placental tissues and interacts in vivo with both long and short isoforms of afadin. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
