Anti-FAM111B Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a protein with a trypsin-like cysteine/serine peptidase domain in the C-terminus. Mutations in this gene are associated with an autosomal dominant form of hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma (HFP) . Affected individuals display mottled pigmentation, telangiectasia, epidermal atrophy, tendon contractures, and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. A paralog of this gene which also has a trypsin‐ like peptidase domain, FAM111A, is located only 16 kb from this gene on human chromosome 11q12.1.

E.coli-derived human FAM111B recombinant protein (Position: Q328-D726) . Human FAM111B shares 45.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse FAM111B.
