TULP1 Antibody - middle region: FITC (ARP33469_P050-FITC)

TULP1 is required for normal development of photoreceptor synapses. TULP1 is also required for normal photoreceptor function and for long-term survival of photoreceptor cells. TULP1 interacts with cytoskeleton proteins and may play a role in protein transport in photoreceptor cells. TULP1 binds lipids, especially phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-bisphosphate, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid (in vitro) .This gene encodes a member of the tubby-like gene family (TULPs) . Members of this family have been identified in plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates and encode proteins of unknown function. TULP proteins share a conserved C-terminal region of approximately 200 amino acid residues. Mutations in this gene may be associated with retinitis pigmentosa.

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.
