KERA blocking peptide
KERA Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2).[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Uniprot Description
KERA: May be important in developing and maintaining corneal transparency and for the structure of the stromal matrix. Defects in KERA are the cause of the autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2). In CNA2, the forward convex curvature is flattened, leading to a decrease in refraction, reduced visual activity, extreme hyperopia (usually plus 10 d or more), hazy corneal limbus, opacities in the corneal parenchyma, and marked arcus senilis (often detected at an early age). CNA2 is a rare disorder with a worldwide distribution, but a high prevalence in the Finnish population. Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.

Product Notes
The KERA kera (Catalog #AAA9219270) 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 "KERA, 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
