ANTI-A1-SYNTROPHIN (RA-16) RABBIT

Anti-α1-Syntrophin (RA-16) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting.

Anti-α1-Syntrophin (RA-16) is developed in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence of mouse α1-syntrophin The syntrophins are a family of intracellular peripheral membrane proteins (58-60 kDa), comprising at least three isoforms α1, β1, and β2-syntrophins. Syntrophins in mammalian skeletal muscle have been shown to be part of a complex of proteins associated with dystrophin, the product of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy gene. The C-terminal 57 amino acids region of syntrophins is highly conserved among the three isoforms, and may contain the binding site for dystrophin.

α1-syntrophin (SNTA1) mutations results in LQTS (cardiac channelopathies like long QT syndrome). It modulates the development of adipocyte lipid droplet. It also participates in the survival signaling pathway in myoblasts. α1-syntrophin controls voltage-gated Na+ channels. It acts as a substrate for stress-activated protein kinase-3 (SAPK-3).
