NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentaxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The protein is found in the basement membrane, and may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
USH2A: Involved in hearing and vision. Defects in USH2A are the cause of Usher syndrome type 2A (USH2A). USH is a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by the association of retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural deafness. Age at onset and differences in auditory and vestibular function distinguish Usher syndrome type 1 (USH1), Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) and Usher syndrome type 3 (USH3). USH2 is characterized by congenital mild hearing impairment with normal vestibular responses. Defects in USH2A are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 39 (RP39). RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP39 inheritance is autosomal recessive. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The USH2A ush2a (Catalog #AAA544644) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Usherin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunocompetition, Immunodepletion. Confocal Microscopy||1:250 Immunocytochemistry: 1:250 Immunofluorescence: 1:250 Immunohistochemistry: 1:250 Western Blot: 1:500. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the USH2A ush2a 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 "Usherin, 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
