Anti-Calponin antibody, Mouse monoclonal clone hCP, purified from hybridoma cell culture

Anti-Calponin antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hCP hybridoma (also cites as CALP), produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mouse. Calponin (CNN) exists in three isoforms CNN1, CNN2 and CNN3. CNN2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 19p13.3. All three isoforms are expressed in smooth muscle. While CNN1 expression is confined only to smooth muscle, CNN2 and CNN3 are expressed in other cells including the neuronal tissue, fibroblast, myoblast and B lymphocyte. The three isoforms differ in the C-terminal region and comprise conserved actin-binding middle domain and a N-terminal calponin homology (CH) domain.
