PABPN1 Antibody

This gene encodes an abundant nuclear protein that binds with high affinity to nascent poly (A) tails. The protein is required for progressive and efficient polymerization of poly (A) tails on the 3' ends of eukaryotic genes and controls the size of the poly (A) tail to about 250 nt. At steady-state, this protein is localized in the nucleus whereas a different poly (A) binding protein is localized in the cytoplasm. An expansion of the trinucleotide (GCG) repeat from normal 6 to 8-13 at the 5' end of the coding region of this gene leads to autosomal dominant oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) disease. Multiple splice variants have been described but their full-length nature is not known. One splice variant includes introns 1 and 6 but no protein is formed.

This PABPN1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 270-298 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human PABPN1.

Store at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
