Gene Information
human ... FUS(2521)
General description
FUS (fused in sarcoma) is a DNA/RNA binding protein, which contains a nuclear localization sequence in its C-terminal. A QGSY (glutamine-glycine-serine-tyrosine)-rich region is localized to its N-terminal, which plays an essential role in the self-assembly of this protein. It was first identified in liposarcomas as a fusion protein.
Immunogen
FUS RNA binding protein
Application
Anti-FUS antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mutations in FUS (fused in sarcoma) gene result in a subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This disease is characterized by the accumulation of FUS aggregates in the cytosol due to mutations clustered in its nuclear localization sequence. This protein is multifunctional and plays multiple roles in the metabolism of RNA. In liposarcomas, the N-terminal of this protein fuses with the N-terminal of the CHOP (CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein) transcription factor, which results in tumorigenesis through the activation of oncogenes. This protein is associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration, and its inactivation influences the homeostasis of cells. Inactivation of this protein leads to an elevation in the phosphorylation og histone H3, which leads to cell arrest, thus, impacting cell proliferation.
Features and Benefits
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:
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.

Numerous families exhibiting both frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have been described, and although many of these have been shown to harbour a repeat expansion in C9ORF72, several C9ORF72-negative FTD-ALS families remain. We performed neuropathological and genetic
