General description

Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is a RNA-binding protein that is associated to polysomes and may be involved in the transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Defects in FMR1 are the cause of Fragile X syndrome, which is a common genetic disease characterized by moderate to severe mental retardation, macroorchidism, large ears, prominent jaw, and high-pitched, jocular speech. The defect in most fragile X syndrome patients results from an amplification of a CGG repeat region which is directly in front of the coding region.

Immunogen

Fusion protein with a full length FMRP (human).

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Ascites mouse monoclonal IgG1k fluid containing no preservatives

Unpurified

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot on Mouse E17 spinal cord lysates.

Western Blotting Analysis:
1:500 dilution of this antibody detected Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein on 10 µg of Mouse E17 spinal cord lysates.

Specificity

Human and mouse FMRP. The epitope is localized in the N-terminal half of FMRP. Cross reaction with FXR protein may be detected in cases of high expression of the latter proteins.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
