CNBP blocking peptide
CNBP Peptide - N-terminal region
Target Description: CNBP is a nucleic-acid binding protein with seven zinc-finger domains. The protein has a preference for binding single stranded DNA and RNA. The protein functions in cap-independent translation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA, and may also function in sterol-mediated transcriptional regulation. A CCTG expansion in the first intron of this gene results in myotonic dystrophy type 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.This gene encodes a nucleic-acid binding protein with seven zinc-finger domains.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a nucleic-acid binding protein with seven zinc-finger domains. The protein has a preference for binding single stranded DNA and RNA. The protein functions in cap-independent translation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA, and may also function in sterol-mediated transcriptional regulation. A CCTG expansion from <30 repeats to 75-11000 repeats in the first intron of this gene results in myotonic dystrophy type 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
Uniprot Description
ZNF9: Single stranded DNA-binding protein, with specificity to the sterol regulatory element (SRE). Involved in sterol-mediated repression. Defects in CNBP are the cause of dystrophia myotonica type 2 (DM2); also known as proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM). A multisystem disease characterized by the association of proximal muscle weakness with myotonia, cardiac manifestations and cataract. Additional features can include hyperhidrosis, testicular atrophy, insulin resistance and diabetes and central nervous system anomalies in rare cases. The causative mutation is a CCTG expansion (mean approximately 5000 repeats) located in intron 1 of the CNBP gene. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The CNBP cnbp (Catalog #AAA3227286) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's CNBP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CNBP cnbp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CNBP, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
