Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ FMR1 is a RNA binding protein expressed mainly in brain, neurons, placenta, testes and lymphocytes. Defect in FMR1 can lead to Fragile X Mental Retardation Syndrome due to lack of expression of FMR1 or expression of a mutant protein that cannot bind RNA. Anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody can be used in immunofluorescence staining. Rabbit anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody reacts specifically with FMR1._x000D_ The FMR1 protein (fragile X mental retardation 1 protein) can bind to RNA. It contains two heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K homology (KH) domains and one RGG box. Two proteins named FXR1 and FXR2 interact with FMR1. The protein is highly expressed in brain and testis._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 606-623 of human FMR1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved (1 amino acid substitution) in rat and mouse._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, immunoblotting ._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM 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.
