SLFN13 Antibody / Schlafen 13

Schlafen family members are preferentially expressed in lymphoid tissues and are differentially regulated during thymocyte maturation. Schlafen proteins function as suppressors of cell growth and are thought to play a role in the maintenance of T cell quiescence. All members of the Schlafen family contain a conserved core domain and are substantially diversified at the N terminus. Changes in Schalfen protein expression may contribute to phenotypic differences seen in thymic subsets. Slfn13 (Schlafen family member 13), also known as SLFN10, is an 897 amino acid protein that exists as 2 alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 17q12.
