Rabbit MEFV Polyclonal Antibody | anti-MEFV antibody
MEFV antibody - N-terminal region
Target Description: MEFV was identified as the gene that when mutated causes Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. MEFV is expressed in granulocytes and myeloid bone marrow precursors. This gene encodes a protein, also known as pyrin or marenostrin, that is an important modulator of innate immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene. Please see the Entrez Gene record to access additional publications.

Uniprot Description
pyrin: Probably controls the inflammatory response in myelomonocytic cells at the level of the cytoskeleton organization. Defects in MEFV are the cause of familial Mediterranean fever autosomal recessive (ARFMF). ARFMF is an inherited disorder characterized by recurrent episodic fever, serosal inflammation and pain in the abdomen, chest or joints. ARFMF is frequently complicated by amyloidosis, which leads to renal failure and can be prophylactically treated with colchicine. ARFMF primarily affects ancestral ethnic groups living around the Mediterranean basin: North African Jews, Armenians, Arabs and Turks. The disease is also distributed in other populations including Greeks, Cypriots, Italians and Spanish, although at a lower prevalence. Defects in MEFV are the cause of familial Mediterranean fever autosomal dominant (ADFMF). ADFMF is characterized by periodic fever, serosal inflammation and pain in the abdomen, chest or joints as seen also in the autosomal recessive form of the disease. It is associated with renal amyloidosis and characterized by colchicine unresponsiveness. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The MEFV mefv (Catalog #AAA3203832) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MEFV antibody - N-terminal region reacts with Horse, Human, Pig, Rabbit and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MEFV can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MEFV mefv 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. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MAKTPSDHLL STLEELVPYD FEKFKFKLQN TSVQKEHSRI PRSQIQRARP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MEFV, 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
