NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2).[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Uniprot Description

KERA: May be important in developing and maintaining corneal transparency and for the structure of the stromal matrix. Defects in KERA are the cause of the autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2). In CNA2, the forward convex curvature is flattened, leading to a decrease in refraction, reduced visual activity, extreme hyperopia (usually plus 10 d or more), hazy corneal limbus, opacities in the corneal parenchyma, and marked arcus senilis (often detected at an early age). CNA2 is a rare disorder with a worldwide distribution, but a high prevalence in the Finnish population. Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.

Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q22

Cellular Component: extracellular region; extracellular space; Golgi lumen; lysosomal lumen; proteinaceous extracellular matrix

Biological Process: axonogenesis; keratan sulfate biosynthetic process; keratan sulfate catabolic process; response to stimulus; visual perception

Disease: Cornea Plana 2

Product Notes

The KERA kera (Catalog #AAA9630320) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The KERA Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's KERA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA)(peptide). ELISA(peptide): 1:20000-1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KERA kera 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 "KERA, 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.
