    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Parvalbumin Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total parvalbumin protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human parvalbumin protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Parvalbumin (PV, PVALB) is a member of the EF-hand family of calcium-binding proteins, containing EF-hand domains with a high affinity for calcium and magnesium (1). Parvalbumin is expressed in both the soma and in processes of specific subclasses of GABAergic interneurons. Parvalbumin is a slow calcium buffer, meaning it accelerates the initial phase of decay of calcium after an action potential, which likely inhibits facilitation and is thought to regulate short-term synaptic plasticity (2,3). Altered function of PV positive interneurons has been implicated in many neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder (4).
