TUB Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the Tubby family of bipartite transcription factors. The encoded protein may play a role in obesity and sensorineural degradation. The crystal structure has been determined for a similar protein in mouse, and it functions as a membrane-bound transcription regulator that translocates to the nucleus in response to phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
tubby: an effector protein for heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors. Binds phospholipid and is anchored to the plasma membrane through binding phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. Is released upon activation of phospholipase C. Translocates from the plasma membrane to the nucleus upon activation by the G-alpha(q)/(11) subclass of G proteins that are linked to receptors including the seratonin receptor 5-HT(2C). Can bind DNA in vitro and may contribute to the regulation of transcription in the nucleus. TUB can be phosphorylated by the insulin receptor and may participate in insulin receptor signaling. Does not have a cleavable signal peptide and is secreted by a non-conventional pathway. Highly expressed in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and several other brain regions. May play a role in the hypothalamic regulation of body weight. Contributes to stimulation of phagocytosis of apoptotic retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and macrophages. Belongs to the TUB family. Mutations in the tubby promote maturity-onset obesity in mice. Interacts with GNAQ. Interacts with TULP1. Two isoforms of the human protein are produced through alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The TUB tub (Catalog #AAA9630905) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The TUB Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's TUB can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA)(peptide). ELISA(peptide): 1:20000-1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TUB tub 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 "TUB, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
