Anti-OBSCN antibody produced in rabbit

OBSCN (obscurin, cytoskeletal calmodulin and titin-interacting RhoGEF) is a multidomain, sarcomeric Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor protein belonging to the giant modular signaling proteins such as titin and nebulin. It has molecular mass of ~800kDa. It is expressed in the skeletal and cardiac muscle. It is located to chromosome 1q42 with >67 intracellular immunoglobulin (Ig) or fibronectin-3-like domains with multiple slice variants. It is composed of calmodulin-binding IQ motif, and a rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor domain in the COOH-terminal region.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

OBSCN (obscurin, cytoskeletal calmodulin and titin-interacting RhoGEF) is majorly involved in the Ca(2+)/calmodulin, and G protein-coupled signal transduction pathway. It plays a vital role in the myofibrillogenesis and hypertrophic growth. It helps in the formation and spatial arrangements of contractile proteins for the structural integration and stabilization of myofibrils during sarcomere assembly.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
