Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of peripherin in mouse tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein found in neurons of the peripheral nervous system. The encoded protein is a type III intermediate filament protein with homology to other cytoskeletal proteins such as desmin, and is a different protein that the peripherin found in photoreceptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
