ANTI-DND1 (C15-1341-305)

General description

Dead end homolog 1 (zebrafish) is an RNA binding protein found in primordial germ cells during embryogenesis. DND1 is essential for germ cell survival. Dnd1 appears to have a critical role in germ-cell and germ cell-tumor development. Dnd1 acts, at least in part, by protecting certain mRNAs from micro-RNA (miRNA)-mediated repression.

Specificity

Anti-DND1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, rat, bovine, and canine dead end homolog 1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human DND1

Application

Anti-DND1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag dead end homolog 1 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of dead end homolog 1 proteins in germ-cell and germ cell-tumor development, especially at the level of miRNA mediated repression of mRNA transcription.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DND1 contains 2 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains. It may play a role during primordial germ cell (PGC) development. However, DND1 does not seem to be essential for PGC migration

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: HRFWYQVVIPGHPVPFSGLIWVVLTLDGRDGHEVAKDAVSVRLLQALSES

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
