Anti-Fibrillin-1, C-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit, approx. 1 mg/mL, affinity isolated antibody, buffered aqueous solution

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Anti-Fibrillin-1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemical staining (1:50).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fibrillin-1 protein plays an important role in the fibrillogenesis in elastic tissues and non-elastic tissues. It acts as an anchoring fiber and induces Smad2 signaling by regulating the bioavailability of endogenous transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1). Mutation in the FBN1 gene leads to the development of heritable disorder Marfan syndrome. Mutation of this gene also causes thoracic aortic aneurysms in patients without Marfan syndrome.

General description

Fibrillin-1 is a multidomain cysteine-rich glycoprotein that belongs to the fibrillin protein family. It is encoded by the FBN1 gene mapped to human chromosome 15q21. Fibrillin-1 structure includes 43 calcium-binding epidermal growth factor (cbEGF)–like domains and 78 cysteine-containing TB motifs. The protein is ubiquitously present and is a vital component of elastic fiber–associated microfibrils in connective tissues. Anti-Fibrillin-1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Fibrillin-1 protein.
