Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ C13orf12, also called POMP (proteasome maturation protein), is a chaperone protein for proteasome, and has a molecular weight of 16kDa. It is thought to exist as a tetramer with the molecular weight of 64kDa. It is both a cytosolic and a nuclear protein. It has a ubiquitous expression pattern, and the corresponding gene is localized to human chromosome 13q._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Immunogen Sequence: GI # 7705429, sequence 1-141_x000D_ Recombinant proteasome maturation protein_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-C13orf12 antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ POMP (proteasome maturation protein), or C13orf12, acts as a chaperone which is essential for the maturation of the 20S proteasome proteolytic core complex. It has an important role in the terminal differentiation of human epidermis. Deletion in this gene is linked with KLICK syndrome, which is a rare autosomal-recessive skin disorder. The deletion results in modified distribution of proteasome in the epidermis, causing altered formation of outer layers of skin.
