Descripción

General description

Huntington disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder is caused by a CAG,CTG expansion in the HTT gene that results in the production of a mutant huntingtin protein (HTT) with polymeric expansions that accumulate in human brain with HD. PolyLeu is an antisense repeat-associated non-ATG (RAN) translation protein that accumulate in various brain regions with toxic effects leading to microglial activation and neuronal loss. HD-RAN polyLeu toxicity is shown to be comparable to that of polyGln. HD-RAN proteins are abundant in regions of the brain that are most affected by HD and these regions display pathologic features of HD, such as caspase-3 activity and microglial activation. HD-Ran protein accumulation and aggregation in HD brains are shown to be length dependent.

Specificity

This rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically detects RAN proteins with PolyLeu-HD.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of the predicted polyLeu frames of HD in the CTG direction (HD-Leu-Ct).

Epitope: unknown

Application

Anti-HD-polyLeu-Ct, Cat. No. ABN1670, is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody that targets HD-polyLeu-Ct and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blotting.
