Further Information

Additional Names:
FMR1 Antibody: Fragile X mental retardation protein 1, FMRP
Application Note:
FMR1 antibody can be used for detection of FMR1 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/ml. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples; Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
Background:
Fragile X syndrome is a frequent form of inherited mental retardation caused by functional loss of the fragile X mental retardation protein, FMR1, also known as FMRP (1). FMR1 binds RNA and is associated with polysomes. The encoded protein may be involved in mRNA trafficking from the nucleus to the cytoplasm (2). A trinucleotide repeat (CGG) in the 5' UTR is normally found at 6-53 copies, but an expansion to 55-230 repeats is the cause of fragile X syndrome (1). Expansion of the trinucleotide repeat may also cause one form of premature ovarian failure (POF1) (3).
