Designing a Western blot for Ankyrin-1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the ANK1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Ankyrin-1.
Erythrocyte ankyrins also link spectrin (beta chain) to the cytoplasmic domain of the erythrocytes anion exchange protein; they retain most or all these binding functions. .

Isoform Mu17, isoform Mu18, isoform Mu19 and isoform Mu20 are expressed in skeletal muscle. Isoform Br21 is expressed in brain.
[Isoform Er1]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Probably the other erythrocyte (Er) isoforms, are located near the surface of erythrocytic plasma membrane.; [Isoform Mu17]: Membrane. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, M line. Colocalizes with OBSCN isoform 3/obscurin at the M line in differentiated skeletal muscle cells.; [Isoform Mu18]: Sarcoplasmic reticulum.; [Isoform Mu19]: Sarcoplasmic reticulum.; [Isoform Mu20]: Sarcoplasmic reticulum.
