Anti-EPB41L1 Antibody Picoband®

Band 4.1-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EPB41L1 gene. This gene is mapped to 20q11.23. It is found that a heterozygous missense mutation in the EPB41L1 gene causing nonsyndromic intellectual disability. This gene may function to confer stability and plasticity to neuronal membrane via multiple interactions, including the spectrin-actin-based cytoskeleton, integral membrane channels and membrane-associated guanylate kinases. What’s more, EPB41L1 is a multifunctional protein that mediates interactions between the erythrocyte cytoskeleton and the overlying plasma membrane.

E.coli-derived human EPB41L1 recombinant protein (Position: Q691-S881) . Human EPB41L1 shares 91% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat EPB41L1.
