Description

General description

TCAP codes for a protein that binds to titin and acts as a substrate for titin kinase, thereby playing an important role in sarcomere assembly. Genetic mutations in Tcap have been linked to cardiomyopathies. Depletion of Tcap in zebrafish has been associated with muscular dystrophy.
Rabbit Anti-TCAP antibody recognizes bovine, canine, pig, human, mouse, and rat TCAP.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human TCAP

Application

Rabbit Anti-TCAP antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 5μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sarcomere assembly is regulated by the muscle protein titin. Titin is a giant elastic protein with kinase activity that extends half the length of a sarcomere. It serves as a scaffold to which myofibrils and other muscle related proteins are attached. TCAP is a protein found in striated and cardiac muscle that binds to the titin Z1-Z2 domains and is a substrate of titin kinase, interactions thought to be critical to sarcomere assembly. Mutations in TCAP gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2G.Sarcomere assembly is regulated by the muscle protein titin.
