Anti-NELF/NSMF Antibody Picoband®, APC Conjugate

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in guidance of olfactory axon projections and migration of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone neurons. Defects in this gene are a cause of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 2;ADAM 2;Cancer/testis antigen 15;CT15;Fertilin subunit beta;PH-30;PH30;PH30-beta;ADAM2;FTNB;

Sperm surface membrane protein that may be involved in sperm-egg plasma membrane adhesion and fusion during fertilization. Could have a role in sperm-zona binding or migration of sperm from the uterus into the oviduct. Interactions with egg membrane could be mediated via binding between its disintegrin-like domain to one or more integrins receptors on the egg. This is a non catalytic metalloprotease-like protein.
