Affinity Purified

Liquid. Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

For short term use, store at 2-8 degree C up to 1 week. For long term storage, store at -20 degree C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of anti-LMBR1 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This is a rabbit polyclonal antibody against LMBR1. It was validated on Western Blot using a cell lysate as a positive control.

Target Description: LMBR1 is a member of the LMBR1-like membrane protein family. Another member of this protein family has been shown to be a lipocalin transmembrane receptor. A highly conserved, cis-acting regulatory module for the sonic hedgehog gene is located within an intron of LMBR1 gene. Consequently, disruption of this genic region can alter sonic hedgehog expression and affect limb patterning, but it is not known if LMBR1 gene functions directly in limb development. Mutations and chromosomal deletions and rearrangements in this genic region are associated with acheiropody and preaxial polydactyly, which likely result from altered sonic hedgehog expression.This gene encodes a member of the LMBR1-like membrane protein family.

Function: Putative membrane receptor.

Subcellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein

By similarity.

Tissue specificity: Widely expressed with strongest expression in heart and pancreas. Ref.8

Involvement in disease: Preaxial polydactyly 2 (PPD2) [MIM:174500]: Polydactyly consists of duplication of the distal phalanx. The thumb in PPD2 is usually opposable and possesses a normal metacarpal.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Disease-causing mutations are located in intron 5 of LMBR1. The mutations do not alter normal LMBR1 expression and function, but disrupt a long-range, cis-regulatory element of SHH expression contained in LMBR1 intron 5 (Ref.10). Ref.10Acheiropody (ACHP) [MIM:200500]: Very rare condition characterized by bilateral congenital amputations of the hands and feet. The specific malformative phenotype consists of a complete amputation of the distal epiphysis of the humerus, amputation of the tibial diaphysis and aplasia of the radius, ulna, fibula and of all the bones of the hands and feet.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Syndactyly 4 (SDTY4) [MIM:186200]: A form of syndactyly, a congenital anomaly of the hand or foot marked by persistence of the webbing between adjacent digits that are more or less completely attached. SDTY4 is characterized by complete bilateral syndactyly (involving all digits 1 to 5). A frequent association with polydactyly (with six metacarpals and six digits) has been reported. Feet are affected occasionally.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Disease-causing mutations are located in intron 5 of LMBR1. The mutations do not alter normal LMBR1 expression and function, but disrupt a long-range, cis-regulatory element of SHH expression contained in LMBR1 intron 5. Ref.11
