General description

FMR1 is a RNA binding protein expressed mainly in brain, neurons, placenta, testes and lymphocytes. Defect in FMR1 can lead to Fragile X Mental Retardation Syndrome due to lack of expression of FMR1 or expression of a mutant protein that cannot bind RNA. Anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody can be used in immunofluorescence staining. Rabbit anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody reacts specifically with FMR1.
The FMR1 protein (fragile X mental retardation 1 protein) can bind to RNA. It contains two heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K homology (KH) domains and one RGG box. Two proteins named FXR1 and FXR2 interact with FMR1. The protein is highly expressed in brain and testis.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 606-623 of human FMR1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved (1 amino acid substitution) in rat and mouse.

Application

Anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, immunoblotting .

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

The final product of FMR1 gene transcription, Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein 1 (FMRP), is an RNA binding protein that acts as a repressor of translation. FMRP is expressed in several tissues and plays important roles in neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity

SHANK3 is a postsynaptic scaffolding protein that plays a critical role in synaptic development and brain function. Mutations in SHANK3 are implicated in Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by autistic-like behavior, delayed speech, hypotonia, and intellectual disability (ID).

The PI3K enhancer PIKE links PI3K catalytic subunits to group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu1/5) and activates PI3K signaling. The roles of PIKE in synaptic plasticity and the etiology of mental disorders are unknown. Here, we show that increased PIKE
