Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Rat, Monkey
Specificity / Sensitivity
Pumilio 1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total pumilio 1 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly169 of human pumilio 1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Pumilio 1 and Pumilio 2 (PUM1, PUM2, or Pumilio homolog 1 and 2, respectively) are evolutionarily conserved RNA binding proteins that are thought to repress translation and stability of mRNA targets by binding to the 3'-UTR of specific RNA sequences (1). Pumilio proteins have been implicated in the regulation of genes involved in embryogenesis and germline cell development (2). Research studies have shown that PUM2 may have a role in neural stem cell fate decisions (3).
