SHROOM2 blocking peptide
SHROOM2 Antibody (Center) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene represents the human homolog of Xenopus laevis apical protein (APX) gene, which is implicated in amiloride-sensitive sodium channel activity. It is expressed in endothelial cells and facilitates the formation of a contractile network within endothelial cells. Depletion of this gene results in an increase in endothelial sprouting, migration, and angiogenesis. This gene is highly expressed in the retina, and is a strong candidate for ocular albinism type 1 syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
APXL: May be involved in endothelial cell morphology changes during cell spreading. In the retinal pigment epithelium, may regulate the biogenesis of melanosomes and promote their association with the apical cell surface by inducing gamma-tubulin redistribution. Belongs to the shroom family.
Protein type: Channel, sodium
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xp22.3
Cellular Component: apical plasma membrane; cell-cell adherens junction; cortical actin cytoskeleton; cytoskeleton; plasma membrane; tight junction
Molecular Function: actin binding; actin filament binding; amiloride-sensitive sodium channel activity; beta-catenin binding; protein binding
Biological Process: actin filament bundle formation; apical protein localization; brain development; camera-type eye development; camera-type eye morphogenesis; cell migration; cell morphogenesis; cellular pigment accumulation; ear development; establishment of melanosome localization; eye pigment granule organization and biogenesis; lens morphogenesis in camera-type eye; melanosome organization and biogenesis

Product Notes
The SHROOM2 shroom2 (Catalog #AAA9222889) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SHROOM2, 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
