PRDM16 Antibody - middle region : FITC (ARP33260_P050-FITC)

The reciprocal translocation t (1;3) (p36; q21) occurs in a subset of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . This gene is located near the 1p36.3 breakpoint and has been shown to be specifically expressed in the t (1:3) (p36, q21) -positive MDS/AML. The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor and contains an N-terminal PR domain. The translocation results in the overexpression of a truncated version of this protein that lacks the PR domain, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of MDS and AML. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
