Recombinant Human RCAN1

• Cat.No.: RCAN1-27792TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant fragment: MKLYFAQTLHIGSSHLAPP N PDKQFLIS PP ASPPVGW KQV EDATPV INYD LLYAI SKLGP , corresponding to N terminal amino acids 1-117 of Human Calcipressin 1

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with calcineurin A and inhibits calcineurin-dependent signaling pathways, possibly affecting central nervous system development. This gene is located in the minimal candidate region for the Down syndrome phenotype, and is overexpressed in the brain of Down syndrome fetuses. Chronic overexpression of this gene may lead to neurofibrillary tangles such as those associated with Alzheimer disease. Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene.
• Source: E. coli
• Tissue specificity: Highly expressed heart, brain and skeletal muscle. Also expressed in all other tissues.
