ANTI-DYSFERLIN (N-TERMINAL REGION) ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT AFFINITY ISOLATED ANTIBODY

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.

Dysferlin is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 2p13.2

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:

• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunofluorescence

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.
