Rabbit erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (elliptocytosis 1, RH-linked) Polyclonal Antibody | anti-EPB41 antibody
Rabbit anti-human erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (elliptocytosis 1, RH-linked) polyclonal Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
EPB41: Protein 4.1 is a major structural element of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton. It plays a key role in regulating membrane physical properties of mechanical stability and deformability by stabilizing spectrin-actin interaction. Recruits DLG1 to membranes. Defects in EPB41 are the cause of elliptocytosis type 1 (EL1). EL1 is a Rhesus-linked form of hereditary elliptocytosis, a genetically heterogeneous, autosomal dominant, hematologic disorder. It is characterized by variable hemolytic anemia and elliptical or oval red cell shape. Defects in EPB41 are a cause of hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP). HPP is an autosomal recessive hematologic disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, microspherocytosis, poikilocytosis, and an unusual thermal sensitivity of red cells. 7 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

The Rabbit anti-human erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (elliptocytosis 1, RH-linked) polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (elliptocytosis 1, RH-linked) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EPB41 epb41 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 "erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (elliptocytosis 1, RH-linked), Polyclonal Antibody" 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
