General description

Ataxin-7 is a protein of unknown function. However, since this protein contains a nuclear localization sequence and is found to be localized in the nucleus, it has been postulated to be a potential transcription factor. Spinocerebellar ataxia-7 (one of a group of hereditary neurodegenrative diseases) is caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the gene encoding ataxin-7 (the diseased allele associated with Spinocerebellar ataxia-7, contains 38-130 CAG repeats (near the N-terminus), compared to 7-17 in the normal allele). In cells where there is a mutation of the SCA7 gene, ataxin-7 accumulates in intranuclear inclusions and can result in cell death. Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is one of a group of genetic disorders characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait and often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. Frequently, atrophy of the cerebellum occurs.

Immunogen

Epitope: Epitope mapped between aa 66 and aa 119.

Recombinant human Ataxin 7 as a fusion protein (aa 1 to aa 229).

Physical form

Unpurified

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting of Rat brain lysate. Western Blotting: Representative lot data: A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected Ataxin-7 in 10ug of Rat brain tissue lysate.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes Ataxin-7 protein.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
