Invitrogen™ Human HuD (aa 2-45) Control Fragment Recombinant Protein

Descripción

Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (98%), Rat (98%). This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-83642 (PA5-83642. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.

HuD, otherwise known as ELAV-like protein 4 or PNEM, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL4 gene. This human gene is located at 1p34 by in situ hybridization. The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an RNA-binding protein. ELAVL4 has specificity for 3-prime uridylate-rich untranslated regions of growth factor mRNAs. HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to AU-rich element-containing mRNAs. As a result of this interaction the, half-life of the transcript is increased. Additionally, HuD is important in neurons during brain development and plasticity.
