Product Specifications

Immunogen

Recombinant human Emerin protein fragment (around aa 56-167) (exact sequence is proprietary) (Uniprot: P50402)

Localization

Nuclear Membrane

Specificity

Emerin is a member of the nuclear lamina associated protein family. It is ubiquitously expressed and localized to the nuclear membrane in normal cells. Mutations of the gene that encodes emerin result in the X-linked recessive disease Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), which is characterized by slowly progressing contractures, skeletal muscle wasting and cardiomyopathy. Reportedly, lack of Emerin expression is one cause of EDMD. Emerin is involved in the association of the nuclear membrane with the lamina, and is localized specifically to desmosomes and fasciae adherents in the heart. Identification of nuclear membrane irregularities with anti-emerin antibody has been reported useful in diagnosing papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background: Emerin

Emerin is a serine-rich nuclear membrane protein and a member of the nuclear lamina-associated protein family. It mediates membrane anchorage to the cytoskeleton. Dreifuss-Emery muscular dystrophy is an X-linked inherited degenerative myopathy resulting from mutation in the emerin gene.
