Gene Information

human ... MURC(347273)

General description

The gene MURC (muscle-related coiled-coil protein) is mapped to human chromosome 9q31. It is an evolutionarily conserved protein. The protein is present in the cytoplasm and Z-line of the sarcomere.

Immunogen

PTRF/SDPR family protein recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-MURC antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

MURC (muscle-related coiled-coil protein) is suggested to regulate RhoA (ras homolog family member A)/ROCK (rho-associated protein kinase) signaling pathway. It is involved in cardiac contractile dysfunction and atrioventricular conduction disturbances, resulting in increased risk to atrial arrhythmias. It is suggested to be linked with human cardiomyopathies.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
