Anti-MBNL3 Antibody Picoband®

Muscleblind-like protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MBNL3 gene. This gene encodes a member of the muscleblind-like family of proteins. The encoded protein may function in regulation of alternative splicing and may play a role in the pathophysiology of myotonic dystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
