Anti-Triadin/TRDN Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein found in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The encoded protein plays a role in skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling as part of the calcium release complex and is required for normal skeletal muscle strength. This protein inly links triads and microtubules in skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene are associated with cardiac arrythmia syndrome and some variants in this gene may be associated with sudden cardiac death.

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 28; ADAM 28;3.4.24.-; Epididymal metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, and cysteine-rich protein II; eMDC II; Metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, and cysteine-rich protein L; MDC-L; ADAM28; ADAM23, MDCL

Expressed predominantly in secondary lymphoid tissues, such as lymph node, spleen, small intestine, stomach, colon, appendix and trachea. The lymphocyte population is responsible for expression of this protein in these tissues. Isoform 2 is expressed preferentially in spleen.

May play a role in the adhesive and proteolytic events that occur during lymphocyte emigration or may function in ectodomain shedding of lymphocyte surface target proteins, such as FASL and CD40L. May be involved in sperm maturation.
