Anti-MPP5/PALS1 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of the p55-like subfamily of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) gene superfamily. The encoded protein participates in the polarization of differentiating cells, has been shown to regulate myelinating Schwann cells (PMID: 20237282), and is one of the components of the Crumbs complex in the retina. Mice which express lower levels of the orthologous protein have retinal degeneration and impaired vision (PMID: 22114289) . Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

E.coli-derived human MPP5/PALS1 recombinant protein (Position: R86-D386) . Human MPP5/PALS1 shares 95.7% and 96.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MPP5/PALS1, respectively.
