Anti-NEBL Antibody Picoband®

Nebulette is a cardiac-specific isoform belonging to the nebulin family of proteins. It is encoded by the NEBL gene. This gene encodes a nebulin like protein that is abundantly expressed in cardiac muscle. The encoded protein binds actin and interacts with thin filaments and Z-line associated proteins in striated muscle. This protein may be involved in cardiac myofibril assembly. A shorter isoform of this protein termed LIM nebulette is expressed in non-muscle cells and may function as a component of focal adhesion complexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Protein phosphatase 1E; Ca (2+) /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase N; CaMKP-N; CaMKP-nucleus; CaMKN; Partner of PIX 1; Partner of PIX-alpha; Partner of PIXA; PPM1E; CAMKN; KIAA1072; POPX1

Protein phosphatase that inactivates multifunctional CaM kinases such as CAMK4 and CAMK2. Dephosphorylates and inactivates PAK. May play a role in the inhibition of actin fiber stress breakdown and in morphological changes driven by TNK2/CDC42. Dephosphorylates PRKAA2.
