Human Dysferlin (DYSF) ELISA Kit | DYSF elisa kit
Human Dysferlin (DYSF) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Dysferlin is a protein linked with skeletal muscle repair. A defect in the dysferlin gene, chromosome location 2p12-14, results in either of two types of muscular dystrophy; Miyoshi myopathy (MM) and Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B). A reduction or absence of dysferlin usually becomes apparent in the third or forth decade of life and is characterised by weakness and wasting of various voluntary skeletal muscles. The Jain Foundation Inc. is focused on finding a cure for this specific disease. The foundation is sponsoring targeted research and helping educate the patients on the importance of determining the mutations in their dysferlin gene.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ferlin family and is a skeletal muscle protein found associated with the sarcolemma. It is involved in muscle contraction and contains C2 domains that play a role in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events, suggesting that it may be involved in membrane regeneration and repair. In addition, the protein encoded by this gene binds caveolin-3, a skeletal muscle membrane protein which is important in the formation of caveolae. Specific mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) as well as Miyoshi myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
Uniprot Description
DYSF: Key calcium ion sensor involved in the Ca(2+)-triggered synaptic vesicle-plasma membrane fusion. Plays a role in the sarcolemma repair mechanism of both skeletal muscle and cardiomyocytes that permits rapid resealing of membranes disrupted by mechanical stress. Defects in DYSF are the cause of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B). LGMD2B is an autosomal recessive degenerative myopathy characterized by weakness and atrophy starting in the proximal pelvifemoral muscles, with onset in the late teens or later, massive elevation of serum creatine kinase levels and slow progression. Scapular muscle involvement is minor and not present at onset. Upper limb girdle involvement follows some years after the onset in lower limbs. Defects in DYSF are the cause of Miyoshi muscular dystrophy type 1 (MMD1). MMD1 is a late-onset muscular dystrophy involving the distal lower limb musculature. It is characterized by weakness that initially affects the gastrocnemius muscle during early adulthood. Otherwise the phenotype overlaps with LGMD2B, especially in age at onset and creatine kinase elevation. Defects in DYSF are the cause of distal myopathy with anterior tibial onset (DMAT). Onset of the disorder is between 14 and 28 years of age and the anterior tibial muscles are the first muscle group to be involved. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. Belongs to the ferlin family. 15 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human DYSF dysf (Catalog #AAA9715626) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715626 ELISA Kit recognizes Human DYSF. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Dysferlin (DYSF), ELISA Kit" 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
