DHDDS blocking peptide
DHDDS Peptide - C-terminal region
Target Description: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes cis-prenyl chain elongation to produce the polyprenyl backbone of dolichol, a glycosyl carrier lipid required for the biosynthesis of several classes of glycoproteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with retinitis pigmentosa type 59. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Uniprot Description
DHDDS: Catalyzes cis-prenyl chain elongation to produce the polyprenyl backbone of dolichol, a glycosyl carrier-lipid required for the biosynthesis of several classes of glycoprotein. Defects in DHDDS are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 59 (RP59). RP59 is a retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. 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. Belongs to the UPP synthase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The DHDDS dhdds (Catalog #AAA3234207) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The DHDDS Peptide - C-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's DHDDS can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the DHDDS dhdds 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. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: ARDMYAEERK RQQLERDQAT VTEQLLREGL QASGDAQLRR TRLHKLSARR. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "DHDDS, 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
