NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
mutations in gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
NF1: a Ras-GAP, highly expressed in developing neural cells. Possesses tumor suppressor activity, presumably by virtue of its GTPase activating domain. Neurofibromin is phosphorylated in response to EGF in CNS cells and cell lines. Defects in NF1 are the cause of type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), Watson syndrome, and familial spinal neurofibromatosis. NF1 is one of the most frequent autosomal dominant diseases. Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The Human NF1 nf1 (Catalog #AAA763921) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA763921 ELISA Kit recognizes Human NF1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Neurofibromin, 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
