Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ ERVWE1 or syncytin, is expressed in the placental syncytiotrophoblast and is involved in fusion of the cytotrophoblast cells to form the syncytial layer of the placenta. The protein has the characteristics of a typical retroviral envelope protein, including a furin cleavage site that separates the surface (SU) and transmembrane (TM) proteins which form a heterodimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Synthetic peptide directed towards the N-terminal region of Human ERVW-1_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied at 0.5 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline, 0.09% 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_ Sequence_x000D_ Synthetic peptide located within the following region: CMTSSSPYQEFLWRMQRPGNIDAPSYRSLSKGTPTFTAHTHMPRNCYHSA
