LIMP2 Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a type III glycoprotein that is located primarily in limiting membranes of lysosomes and endosomes. Earlier studies in mice and rat suggested that this protein may participate in membrane transportation and the reorganization of endosomal/lysosomal compartment. The protein deficiency in mice was reported to impair cell membrane transport processes and cause pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy. Further studies in human showed that this protein is a ubiquitously expressed protein and that it is involved in the pathogenesis of HFMD (hand, foot, and mouth disease) caused by enterovirus-71 and possibly by coxsackievirus A16. Mutations in this gene caused an autosomal recessive progressive myoclonic epilepsy-4 (EPM4), also known as action myoclonus-renal failure syndrome (AMRF). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
Uniprot Description
SCARB2: Acts as a lysosomal receptor for glucosylceramidase (GBA) targeting. Defects in SCARB2 are the cause of progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 4 with or without renal failure (EPM4). An autosomal recessive progressive myoclonic epilepsy associated with renal failure in some cases. Cognitive function is preserved. Myoclonus is a brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles. Cognitive function is preserved. Genetic variants in SCARB2 can act as modifier of the phenotypic expression and severity of Gaucher disease. Belongs to the CD36 family.

Product Notes
The SCARB2 scarb2 (Catalog #AAA152146) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's LIMP2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). LIMP2 peptide is used for blocking the activity of LIMP2 antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SCARB2 scarb2 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 "LIMP2, Blocking Peptide" 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
