Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Goat
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to C-KDVDLSQPRKGRKP, from human AIRE, at the internal region of human AIRE. Species sequence homology: Bovine, canine and rat.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in Tris saline, pH 7.3, 0.5% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide.
Extra Details:: The AIRE gene function is not well defined, however the protein does contain zinc finger motifs suggestive of a transcription factor. The protein (isoform 1) is localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Three splice variant mRNAs products have been described [1]. The longer AIRE-1 mRNA appears to be more abundant and includes exons 1 through 14. Splice variant AIRE-2 includes a portion of the non-coding region of exon 1, an alternatively spliced longer exon 8, plus exons 9 through 14. Variant AIRE-3 includes the same exon 1-8-9 sequences as found in AIRE-2 but utilizes additional alternative splicing in exon 10 that shifts the reading frame such that a stop codon in exon 12 is utilized. The resulting protein products of these splice variants are differ significantly. Defects in this gene cause the autosomal-recessive systemic autoimmune disease termed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:32,000 Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml, in transfected HEK293 lysates on ~60kD bands Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 2.5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
