Anti-JAKMIP1 Antibody

JAKMIP1, also known as Marlin-1, is a highly-conserved vertebrate-specific microtubule-associated protein that plays a role in JAK1 signaling and regulate microtubule cytoskeleton rearrangements. JAKMIP1 is expressed predominantly in neuronal and lymphoid cells and colocalizes with microtubules. Multiple isoforms of JAKMIP1 are known to exist: isoforms 1 and 5 are also expressed in liver, lung and skeletal muscle, while isoforms 2-4 are specifically expressed in brain and retina. JAKMIP1 participates in polarized secretion in lymphocytes and it has been suggested to be a novel effector memory gene restraining T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Dysregulation of JAKMIP1 gene expression is associated with genetic conditions linked to autism in humans.

Rabbit polyclonal JAKMIP1 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the center of human JAKMIP1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 260 - 310 of JAKMIP1.

Predominantly expressed in neural tissues and lymphoid cells (at protein level) . Isoform 2, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are specifically expressed in brain and retina. Isoform 1 and isoform 5 are also detected in liver, lung and skeletal muscle. Also detected in testis and to a lower extent spleen and intestine.

Associates with microtubules and may play a role in the microtubule-dependent transport of the GABA-B receptor. May play a role in JAK1 signaling and regulate microtubule cytoskeleton rearrangements.

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Colocalizes with the microtubule network. Localizes to the cell body and neurites of hippocampal neurons where it accumulates in granules. Localizes to the tail and to a lower extent to the head of sperm cells.
