Description
Product Characteristics:
FERM domains are roughly 150 amino acids in length and are found in a number of cytoskeletal-associated proteins such as Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin and 4.1 (erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1), where they provide a link between cytoskeletal signals and membrane dynamics. FRMD8 (FERM domain-containing protein 8), also known as FKSG44, is a 464 amino acid protein containing one FERM domain. Existing as two alternatively spliced isoforms, the gene encoding FRMD8 maps to human chromosome 11q13.1. With approximately 135 million base pairs and 1,400 genes, chromosome 11 makes up around 4 % of human genomic DNA and is considered a gene and disease association dense chromosome. Wilms' tumors, WAGR syndrome and Denys-Drash syndrome are associated with mutations of the WT1 gene. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, Jacobsen syndrome, Niemann-Pick disease, hereditary angioedema and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome are also associated with defects in chromosome 11.
