Description: Muscleblind-like (Drosophila), also known as MBNL1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MBNL1 gene. It is mapped to 3q25.1-q25.2. This gene encodes a member of the muscleblind protein family which was initially described in Drosophila melanogaster. The encoded protein is a C3H-type zinc finger protein that modulates alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. Muscleblind proteins bind specifically to expanded dsCUG RNA but not to normal size CUG repeats and may thereby play a role in the pathophysiology of myotonic dystrophy. Mice lacking this gene exhibited muscle abnormalities and cataracts. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described but the full-length natures of only some have been determined. The different isoforms are thought to have different binding specificities and/or splicing activities.
Immunogen: Recombinant human protein (amino acids Q89-M388) was used as the immunogen for the Muscleblind-like 1 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the Muscleblind-like 1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
