This antibody recognizes human blood group A (monofucosyl and difucosyl A antigens with chain types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and Forssmann antigen. It is also reactive with the immuno-dominant A trisaccharide. Blood group antigen expression in human colon cancer was studied by means of two monoclonal antibodies of broad anti-A (HE-14) and anti-type 3 and type 4 chain-based A and H (HE-10) specificity. These antigens were proved to re-appear in tumors of the distal colon, the HE-10 antibody reacting more frequently (9 out of 12 samples) than HE-14 (5 out of 12 samples) and frequently with supra-nuclear staining of the cytoplasm probably in those places of the Golgi apparatus where carbohydrate antigens are synthesized. This staining pattern is characteristic of HE-10 in normal colonic mucosa as well. With HE-14, staining was often absent in less differentiated tumors, while HE-10 did react in such tumors. In some cases, these two antibodies gave different staining patterns in parallel sections from the same tissue sample, primarily at the cellular level. Three out of 12 cases showed blood group antigen expression in the mucosa of the distal colon adjacent to the tumor only when HE-10 mAb was used.

Profilin (PFN1) is a ubiquitous small (12-15kDa) phosphoinositide and poly-L-proline binding protein that plays a role in signal transduction pathways and actin filament dynamics. There are two mammalian profilins with similar biochemical properties. Whereas profilin I appears to be highly expressed in most tissues except for skeletal muscle, profilin II is predominantly expressed in brain and at lower levels also in skeletal muscle, uterus and kidney. Profilin is a mainly cytosolic protein with higher concentrations in dynamic membrane areas like the leading edge and ruffling membranes. Profilin binding to PIP2 interferes with PIP2 hydrolysis by soluble phospholipase C-gamma, an inhibition that can be overcome by tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma. Besides actin monomer sequestration and stimulation of actin nucleotide exchange, profilin can also promote cellular actin filament growth. Profilin is involved in the actin dependent intracellular motility of cytopathogenic bacteria, the regulation of cell adhesion and possibly also in linking the actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis. Profilin has been found to associate with defined complexes containing proteins such as Arp2/3 or the Rho/Rac pathways constituents ROCK-II and HEM2/NAP1. Defects in PFN1 are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 18 (ALS18).

Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 5q.

Adenylate kinase is an enzyme involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate group among adinine nucleotides. Three isozymes of adenylate kinase have been identified in vertebrates, adenylate isozyme 1 (AK1), 2 (AK2) and 3 (AK3). AK1 is found in the cytosol of skeletal muscle, brain and erythrocytes, whereas AK2 and AK3 are found in the mitochondria of other tissues including liver and heart. AK1 was identified because of its association with a rare genetic disorder causing nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia where a mutation in the AK1 gene was found to reduce the catalytic activity of the enzyme.Adenylate kinase is an enzyme involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate group among adinine nucleotides.

AASTYs (Acrylic acid-co-styrenes) - like AASTY 6-50 - are highly-alternating copolymers, well-suited for the generation of native lipid nanodiscs. They are a 2022 novel developed series for membrane protein solubilization & stabilization. AASTY 6-50 gets its name from its molecular weight and Acrylic Acid : Styrene Ratio. These varying ratios of acrylic acid to styrene contribute to the hydrophilic properties of our AASTYs. In general lighter AASTYs, like 6-50 tend to be more aggressive, while heavier AASTYs, such as 11-45 show higher thermodynamic stability.

The exact composition of AASTY copolymers shows different extraction efficiency, depending on the lipid composition of the lipid bilayers being formulated into nanodiscs. As AASTY is made using controlled radical polymerization techniques, the dispersity of polymer molecular weight distribution is low, and the molecular weights are controlled. This means that excess AASTY copolymer can be removed by dialysis after nanodisc formation. Based on previous findings on SMA, it is the expectation that AASTY of different molecular weights will display different rates of nanodisc formation, extraction efficacy, and stability of resulting nanodiscs.

Every membrane protein solubilization needs to undergo a screening process before. The characteristic phospholipid environment surrounding the different membrane proteins in question performs differently well with each polymer. To support you in this process we offer a handy Screening Kit for AASTYs to test them all. Additionally, we recommend the two following publications if you would like to get further information: Smith et al. 2020 & Timcenko et al. 2022

This locus has a highly complex imprinted expression pattern. It gives rise to maternally, paternally, and biallelically expressed transcripts that are derived from four alternative promoters and 5' exons. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b, Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, McCune-Albright syndrome, progressive osseus heteroplasia, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, and some pituitary tumors.This gene has a highly complex imprinted expression pattern. It encodes maternally, paternally, and biallelically expressed proteins which are derived from alternatively spliced transcripts with alternate 5' exons. Each of the upstream exons is within a differentially methylated region, commonly found in imprinted genes. However, the close proximity (14 kb) of two oppositely expressed promoter regions is unusual. In addition, one of the alternate 5' exons introduces a frameshift relative to the other transcripts, resulting in one isoform which is structurally unrelated to the others. An antisense transcript exists, and may regulate imprinting in this region. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1a), which has an atypical autosomal dominant inheritance pattern requiring maternal transmission for full penetrance. There are RefSeqs representing four transcript variants of this gene. Other transcript variants including four additional exons have been described; however, their full length sequences have not been determined.

They are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded by this gene, which binds to one of the components of the multiprotein editosome complex, has two repeats of quasi-RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains that bind to RNAs.This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). The hnRNPs are produced by RNA polymerase II and are components of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) complexes. They are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. While all of the hnRNPs are present in the nucleus, some seem to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded by this gene, which binds to one of the components of the multiprotein editosome complex, has two repeats of quasi-RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains that bind to RNAs. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
