Rabbit anti-Human ACTL7B Polyclonal Antibody | anti-ACTL7B antibody
ACTL7B Antibody (N-term)
of actin-related proteins (ARPs) which share significant amino acid
sequence identity to conventional actins. Both actins and ARPs have
an actin fold, which is an ATP-binding cleft, as a common feature.
The ARPs are involved in diverse cellular processes, including
vesicular transport, spindle orientation, nuclear migration and
chromatin remodeling. This gene (ACTL7B), and related gene, ACTL7A,
are intronless, and are located approximately 4 kb apart in a
head-to-head orientation within the familial dysautonomia candidate
region on 9q31. Based on mutational analysis of the ACTL7B gene in
patients with this disorder, it was concluded that it is unlikely
to be involved in the pathogenesis of dysautonomia. Unlike ACTL7A,
the ACTL7B gene is expressed predominantly in the testis, however,
its exact function is not known.
