Aciculin / Phosphoglucomutase 5 (PGM5) [PGM5/3552]

Clear

Summary

Aciculin, also known as PGM5 (phosphoglucomutase 5) or PGMRP, is a 567 amino acid protein that belongs to the phosphoglucomutase family of phosphotransferases, which play an important role in the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate. Localized to the cell junction and expressed at high levels in smooth and cardiac muscle, Aciculin binds magnesium as a cofactor and interacts with dystrophin and utrophin, possibly playing a role in cytoskeletal organization and function. Aciculin exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 9, which houses over 900 genes and comprises nearly 4% of the human genome.

Functions

  • Component of adherens-type cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions (PubMed:8175905). Has no phosphoglucomutase activity in vitro (PubMed:8175905).

Known Applications & Suggested Dilutions

  • ELISA (For coating, order antibody without BSA)
  • Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml)
  • Western Blot (1-2ug/ml)
  • Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT) (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95 &degC followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes),Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
