特异性
This ERVWE1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 493-521 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ERVWE1.
背景介绍
Many different human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) families
are expressed in normal placental tissue at high levels, suggesting
that HERVs are functionally important in reproduction. This gene is
part of an HERV provirus on chromosome 7 that has inactivating
mutations in the gag and pol genes. This gene is the envelope
glycoprotein gene which appears to have been selectively preserved.
The gene's protein product is expressed in the placental
syncytiotrophoblast and is involved in fusion of the
cytotrophoblast cells to form the syncytial layer of the placenta.
The protein has the characteristics of a typical retroviral
envelope protein, including a furin cleavage site that separates
the surface (SU) and transmembrane (TM) proteins which form a
heterodimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the
same protein have been found for this gene.
组织表达
Expressed at higher level in placental syncytiotrophoblast. Expressed at intermediate level in testis. Seems also to be found at low level in adrenal tissue, bone marrow, breast, colon, kidney, ovary, prostate, skin, spleen, thymus, thyroid, brain and trachea. Both mRNA and protein levels are significantly increased in the brain of individuals with multiple sclerosis, particularly in astrocytes and microglia.
细胞定位
[Surface protein]: Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=The surface protein is not anchored to the membrane, but localizes to the extracellular surface through its binding to TM. [Syncytin-1]: Virion.
纯化
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
