Biochem/physiol Actions

Fused in sarcoma (FUS) plays regulatory roles in transcription, RNA splicing and transport and is implicated in multiple diseases. FUS also called translocation in liposarcoma orTumor lysis syndrome (TLS), plays a key role in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Chromosomal translocation of FUS/TLS is found in human cancers and results in the production of oncogenic FUS fusion proteins. FUS is a component of inclusion bodies in patients with Huntington′s disease (HD) and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA1) and SCA3. Mutations in the FUS gene have been identified in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FLTD) and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). The majority of the FUS mutations have been identified in the C-terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS). Pathological FUS inclusions are mostly found in the cytosol of neurons and glial cells.

General description

Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a component of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex is a DNA/ RNA binding protein. FUS gene is mapped to human chromosome 16p11.2 and is located predominantly in the nucleus.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of human FUS isoform 1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in human FUS isoforms 2 and 3, and highly conserved (single amino acid insertion) in mouse and rat FUS.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Specificity

Anti-FUS specifically recognizes human and rat FUS.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
