Maelstrom Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
MAEL: Plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Its association with piP-bodies suggests a participation in the secondary piRNAs metabolic process. Required for localization of germ-cell factors to the meiotic nuage. Belongs to the maelstrom family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Cancer Testis Antigen (CTA)
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q24.1
Cellular Component: XY body; autosome; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cytoplasm; chromatin; nucleus

Product Notes
The MAEL mael (Catalog #AAA153104) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Maelstrom can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). Maelstrom peptide is used for blocking the activity of Maelstrom antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAEL mael 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 "Maelstrom, 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
