Anti-FUS (internal region) antibody produced in rabbit

Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a component of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex. FUS gene is mapped to human chromosome 16p11.2. FUS is located predominantly in the nucleus.

Anti-FUS (internal region) recognizes human FUS.

peptide corresponding to an internal region of human FUS, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in monkey and differs by 4 amino acids in rat and mouse.

Anti-FUS (internal region) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence
• immunohistochemistry

Fused in sarcoma (FUS), also called translocation in liposarcoma or Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), plays a key role in RNA splicing, DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. It is a RNA/DNA binding protein implicated in various diseases. Mutations in the FUS gene is implicated in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Chromosomal translocation of FUS/TLS is found in human cancers and results in the production of oncogenic FUS fusion proteins. FUS has been implicated in a broadening spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders and is a component of inclusion bodies in patients with Huntington′s disease (HD) and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA1) and SCA3. The majority of the FUS mutations have been identified in the C-terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS). TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and FUS have been identified in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FLTD) and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Pathological FUS inclusions are mostly found in the cytosol of neurons and glial cells.

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

For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
