Synthetic Human ACIN1 (aa 994-1009)(NP) Blocking Peptide

Amino acids 994 to 1009 of human AcinusL, 267 to 282 of human AcinusS’, or 236 to 251 of human AcinusS, which are identical to those of mouse Acinus. The selected antigenic sequence is located near the N-terminus of active peptide p17. Apoptosis is defined by several morphologic nuclear changes, including chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. This gene encodes a nuclear protein that induces apoptotic chromatin condensation after activation by caspase-3, without inducing DNA fragmentation. This protein has also been shown to be a component of a splicing-dependent multiprotein exon junction complex (EJC) that is deposited at splice junctions on mRNAs, as a consequence of pre-mRNA splicing. It may thus be involved in mRNA metabolism associated with splicing. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Store at 4C, stable for one year.
