General description

The FMR1 protein (fragile X mental retardation 1 protein) can bind to RNA. It contains two heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K homology (KH) domains and one RGG box. Two proteins named FXR1 and FXR2 interact with FMR1. The protein is highly expressed in brain and testis.

FMR1 is a RNA binding protein expressed mainly in brain, neurons, placenta, testes and lymphocytes. Defect in FMR1 can lead to Fragile X Mental Retardation Syndrome due to lack of expression of FMR1 or expression of a mutant protein that cannot bind RNA. Anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody can be used in immunofluorescence staining. Rabbit anti-FMR1 (C-terminal) antibody reacts specifically with FMR1.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 606-623 of human FMR1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved (1 amino acid substitution) in rat and mouse.

Physical form
