The FAM20C Monoclonal Antibody (PAC058280) is a valuable tool for researchers studying FAM20C, a key player in the regulation of biomineralization and phosphate metabolism. This antibody, produced in mice, demonstrates high specificity and sensitivity for detecting FAM20C in human samples, making it ideal for use in various research applications such as Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.FAM20C, also known as family with sequence similarity 20 member C, is essential for the phosphorylation of extracellular proteins involved in biomineralization, such as enamel matrix proteins and matrix vesicle proteins.
Dysregulation of FAM20C has been linked to various diseases, including dental disorders and skeletal abnormalities. By studying FAM20C and its functions, researchers can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying these pathologies and potentially identify novel therapeutic targets for treating related conditions.
Western Blot. Positive WB detected in: HepG2 whole cell lysate. All lanes: FAM20C antibody at 4.1µg/ml. Secondary. Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG at 1/50000 dilution. Predicted band size: 67, 30 kDa. Observed band size: 67 kDa.
IHC image of PACO58280 diluted at 1:500 and staining in paraffin-embedded human brain tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.

Background:
Golgi serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates secretory pathway proteins within Ser-x-Glu/pSer motifs and plays a key role in biomineralization of bones and teeth. Constitutes the main protein kinase for extracellular proteins, generating the majority of the extracellular phosphoproteome. Mainly phosphorylates proteins within the Ser-x-Glu/pSer motif, but also displays a broader substrate specificity. Phosphorylates casein as well as a number of proteins involved in biomineralization such as AMELX, AMTN, ENAM and SPP1. In addition to its role in biomineralization, also plays a role in lipid homeostasis, wound healing and cell migration and adhesion.
FAM20C: an atypical serine protein kinase that localizes within the Golgi apparatus and is secreted. Distantly related to the Drosophila Golgi-localized kinase Four-jointed. Phosphorylates secretory proteins including the caseins and members of the small integrin-binding ligand, N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) protein family, which modulate biomineralization. Colocalizes with the Golgi resident protein GM130. Preferentially phosphorylates its targets within the S-x-E/pS motif. Requires Mn2+ as an alternative to Mg2+ as the activating cation. Defects in FAM20C are the cause of Raine syndrome (RNS). RNS is an autosomal recessive osteosclerotic bone dysplasia with neonatal lethal outcome. Clinical features include generalized osteosclerosis, craniofacial dysplasia and microcephaly. Two isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: EC 2.7.11.1; Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted; Protein kinase, Ser/Thr (non-receptor)Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7p22.3Cellular Component: extracellular space; Golgi apparatusMolecular Function: manganese ion binding; protein binding; protein serine/threonine kinase activityBiological Process: biomineral formation; protein amino acid phosphorylationDisease: Raine Syndrome

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the family of secreted protein kinases. The encoded protein binds calcium and phosphorylates proteins involved in bone mineralization. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal recessive disorder Raine syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
