General description

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a genetic disease with multiple types, each of which could be considered a disease in its own right.
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is one of a group of genetic disorders characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait and often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. Frequently, atrophy of the cerebellum occurs. The first ataxia gene was identified in 1993 for a dominantly inherited type called “Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1" (SCA1). Subsequently, as additional dominant genes were found they were called SCA2, SCA3, etc. Usually, the "type" number of "SCA" refers to the order in which the gene was found. At this time, there are at least 29 different gene mutations which have been found.

Specificity

Ataxin-3. The epitope was mapped precisely at E214-L233. MAB5360 can be used to study wild type ataxin-3 and the mutant form with polyglutamine expansion found in patients affected with spinocerebellar ataxin type 3/Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD). In analysis of human tissues by Western blot, MAB5360 releaved several isoforms of ataxin-3 (presumably generated by alternative splicing, Trottier et al. 1998). The antibody detected polyglutamine aggregate (or nuclear inclusions) by IHC on SCA-3/MJD brain sections (Paulson et al. 1997).

Immunogen

Human ataxin-3 fragment from aa F112-L249 as a fusion protein

Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease, is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by an expanded polyglutamine stretch in the ataxin-3 protein. A pathological hallmark of the disease is cerebellar and brainstem atrophy, which correlates

Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is a fatal, dominant neurodegenerative disorder. MJD results from polyglutamine repeat expansion in the MJD-1 gene, conferring a toxic gain of function to the ataxin-3 protein. In this study, we aimed at overexpressing ataxin-3 in the rat

Expanded trinucleotide repeats cause many neurological diseases. These include Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) and Huntington's disease (HD), which are caused by expanded CAG repeats within an allele of the ataxin-3 (ATXN3) and huntingtin (HTT) genes, respectively. Silencing expression of these genes
