Anti-Peripherin antibody detects endogenous levels of total Peripherin protein.
The PRPH (peripherin) gene is mapped to human chromosome 12q13.12. This gene codes for a 57 kDa intermediate filament protein. Peripherin is predominantly expressed in the peripheral neurons.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Peripherin.
Immunogen Range: 421-470
Biochem/physiol Actions
Peripherin is known to be associated with the mechanism of organelle transport, function and positioning. It also forms an important part of the cytoskeleton. Mutation in PRPH (peripherin) is observed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Peripherin participates in the elongation of motor axons. Upregulation of PRPH is noticed in neuronal injury.

Peripherin is a type III intermediate filament protein that is up-regulated during neuronal injury and is a major component of pathological inclusions found within degenerating motor neurons of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The relationship between these inclusions and

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common skin disease in children. It is characterized by relapsing inflammation, skin-barrier defects, and intractable itch. However, the pathophysiology of itch in AD remains enigmatic. Here, we examine the contribution of Tmem79, an orphan
SARS-CoV-2 has created a global crisis. COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, is characterized by pneumonia, respiratory distress, and hypercoagulation and can be fatal. An early sign of infection is loss of smell, taste, and chemesthesis-loss of chemical sensation.
