Bioss Inc.'s RENT1/hUPF1 Polyclonal Antibody, APC Conjugated is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunohistochemistry - fixed, and Immunohistochemistry - frozen. The RENT1/hUPF1 Polyclonal Antibody, APC Conjugated was generated using UPF1, and UPF1 RNA helicase and ATPase as the antigen and it reacts with Homo Sapiens, Human, and Mouse.
Description
In eukaryotes, it is essential to have the ability to detect and degrade transcripts that lack full coding potential. Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) protects the organism by avoiding the translation of truncated peptides with dominant negative or deleterious gain-of-function potential. Rent1, a mammalian ortholog of Upflp, is essential for embryonic viability (13). Rent1 (also designated regulator of nonsense transcripts and HUpf1) contains an N-terminal zinc finger-like domain, NTPase domains and a region comprised of domains that define Rent1 as a superfamily group I helicase
