PRRT2 blocking peptide
PRRT2 Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein containing a proline-rich domain in its N-terminal half. Studies in mice suggest that it is predominantly expressed in brain and spinal cord in embryonic and postnatal stages. Mutations in this gene are associated with episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia-1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
Uniprot Description
PRRT2: Defects in PRRT2 are the cause of episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia type 1 (EKD1). An autosomal dominant neurologic condition characterized by recurrent and brief attacks of abnormal involuntary movements, triggered by sudden voluntary movement. These attacks usually have onset during childhood or early adulthood and can involve dystonic postures, chorea, or athetosis. Disease-causing mutations that produce truncation of the C-terminus of the protein alter subcellular location, from plasma membrane to cytosplasm (PubMed:22101681). Defects in PRRT2 are the cause of convulsions, familial infantile, with paroxysmal choreoathetosis (ICCA). A syndrome characterized by clinical features of benign familial infantile seizures and episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia. Benign familial infantile seizures is a disorder characterized by afebrile seizures occurring during the first year of life, without neurologic sequelae. Paroxysmal choreoathetosis is a disorder of involuntary movements characterized by attacks that occur spontaneously or are induced by a variety of stimuli. Defects in PRRT2 are the cause of seizures, benign familial infantile type 2 (BFIS2). An autosomal dominant disorder in which afebrile seizures occur in clusters during the first year of life, without neurologic sequelae. Belongs to the CD225/Dispanin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The PRRT2 prrt2 (Catalog #AAA154095) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PRRT2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). PRRT2 peptide is used for blocking the activity of PRRT2 antibody. It usually blocks the antibody activity completely in Western blot by incubating the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 min at 37 degree C. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PRRT2 prrt2 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 "PRRT2, 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
