Description
NF1 Antibody (PACO06677)
The NF1 antibody (PACO06677) is a polyclonal antibody designed for research involving NF1, a tumor suppressor gene associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. This antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly specific and validated for use in various applications including Western blot and immunohistochemistry.NF1 plays a critical role in controlling cell growth and division by inhibiting the Ras signaling pathway. Mutations in the NF1 gene can lead to the development of tumors and other neurological complications. The NF1 antibody enables researchers to detect and analyze NF1 protein expression in various cell types, making it a valuable tool for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying neurofibromatosis type 1 and related disorders.
By understanding the function and regulation of NF1, researchers can uncover potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1 and other Ras-related disorders. The NF1 antibody is a key tool for advancing research in this field and expanding our knowledge of the role of NF1 in health and disease.

UniProt Protein Function: | NF1: a Ras-GAP, highly expressed in developing neural cells. Possesses tumor suppressor activity, presumably by virtue of its GTPase activating domain. Neurofibromin is phosphorylated in response to EGF in CNS cells and cell lines. Defects in NF1 are the cause of type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), Watson syndrome, and familial spinal neurofibromatosis. NF1 is one of the most frequent autosomal dominant diseases. Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. |

NCBI Summary: | This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
