Target
FunctionClathrin is the major protein of the polyhedral coat of coated pits and vesicles. Two different adapter protein complexes link the clathrin lattice either to the plasma membrane or to the trans-Golgi network.
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the clathrin heavy chain family.
Cellular localizationCytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Membrane > coated pit. Melanosome. Cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Clathrin heavy chain antibody (ab21679)
ICC/IF image of ab21679 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab21679, 1µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Image-iTTM FX Signal Enhancer was used as the primary blocking agent, 5% BSA (in TBS-T) was used for all other blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red).

ab21679 staining Clathrin heavy chain in human kidney. Paraffin embedded human (male) kidney tissue was incubated with ab21679 (1/7000 dilution) for 30 mins at room temperature. Antigen retrieval was performed by heat induction in citrate buffer pH 6. ab21679 was tested in a tissue microarray (TMA) containing a wide range of normal and cancer tissues as well as a cell microarray consisting of a range of commonly used, well characterised human cell lines.

ab21679 staining Clathrin heavy chain in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells by Flow Cytometery. Samples were prepared by homogenization and centrifugation in trypsin and they were washed in PBS. Cells were fixed in 70% 40C ethanol and cell population was gated on Non-junk by FSC/SSC. The primary antibody was diluted 1/2000 in 1% BSA/PBS and incubated with sample for 1 hour at 22°C. An Alexa Fuor 488 conjugated goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG (H&L) was used as secondary antibody at dilution at 1/500.

ab21679 staining Clathrin heavy chain in mouse embryonic fibroblasts by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence. Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with -200C ethanol. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at 1/500 dilution (in 0.1%Saponin/1% BSA/PBS) for 1 hour. An Alexa Fluor®546-conjugated goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as secondary antibody at 1/500 dilution. Green color in image show positive staining with Alexa Fluor®546 conjugated secondary.
