Anti-BBS1 Antibody Picoband®, APC Conjugate

Bardet–Biedl syndrome 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS1 gene. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with the major form (type 1) of Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The encoded protein may play a role in eye, limb, cardiac and reproductive system development.

E.coli-derived human ATF5 recombinant protein (Position: L11-R275). Human ATF5 shares 86.5% and 87.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat ATF5, respectively.
