UBIAD1 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The UbiA prenyltransferase domain containing 1 (UBIAD1) protein , also known as TERE1, was initially identified as a down-regulated gene in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (1) . Recently it has been shown to bind the cholesterol carrier APOE and modulate cellular cholesterol levels (2) . Mutations in the UBIAD1 gene can cause Schnyder crystalline corneal dystrophy, an autosomal dominant disease characterized by progressive opacification of the cornea resulting from the local accumulation of lipids (3) .
