Anti-Dysferlin (N-terminal region) antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Dysferlin is a transmembrane protein, that belongs to the ferlin-1 family of proteins including myoferlin and otoferlin. It is homologous to the C. elegans fer-1 protein. Dysferlin is expressed in kidney cells, skeletal and cardiac muscle.
• Specificity: Anti-Dysferlin (N-terminal region) specifically recognizes human and mouse Dysferlin.
• Immunogen: synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the N-terminal region of human dysferlin (GeneID: 8291), conjugated to KLH.
• Application: Anti-Dysferlin (N-terminal region) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: immunoblottingimmunoprecipitationimmunofluorescence
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Dysferlin is implicated in membrane fusion events. It plays a role in membrane repair processes, such as the ability to reseal the sarcolemma upon muscle injury. Dysferlin localization in the membrane and trafficking is impaired by mutations in caveolin-1 and -3. Mutations in the dysferlin gene are associated with limb-girdle muscle dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B), distal anterior compartment myopathy and related Miyoshi myopathy.
• Physical form: solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
• Storage and Stability: For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
