Invitrogen™ FGF13 Monoclonal Antibody (N235/22), APC

Description

100% identical to rat, 94% identical to mouse. >80% identity with FGF12A/FHF1A, FGF14A/FHF4A and FGF11A/FHF3A. 1 μg/mL of MA5-45651 was sufficient for detection of FGFA/FHFA (pan) in 20 μg of rat brain lysate by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody. Detects approximately 30kDa. Does not cross-react with FGF13B/FHF2B. Cross reacts with FGF12A/FHF1A and FGF14A/FHF4A. This antibody was formerly sold as clone S235-22.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. This gene is located in a region on chromosome X, which is associated with Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS), making it a possible candidate gene for familial cases of the BFLS, and for other syndromal and nonspecific forms of X-linked mental retardation mapping to this region. Alternative splicing of this gene at the 5' end results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms with different N-termini.
