FKTN Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-FKTN Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The protein encoded by FKTN is a putative transmembrane protein that is localized to the cis-Golgi compartment, where it may be involved in the glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein is thought to be a glycosyltransferase and could play a role in brain development. Defects in FKTN are a cause of Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2M (LGMD2M), and dilated cardiomyopathy type 1X (CMD1X) . Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for FKTN.
