Synonyms: Anti-Dysferlin; Anti-Dystrophy-associated fer-1-like protein; Anti-Fer-1-like protein 1
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: DYSF is identified as a component of a putative muscle-specific repair complex involved in the plasma membrane or muscle membrane repair machinery. In addition to patch repair, it also performs in the membrane trafficking via dysferlin-related signaling pathways in muscle cell. During repatching, it provides cell membrane scaffold like structure, which gives structural stability to muscle cells. Deficiency of dysferlin disrupts sarcolemmal membrane repair, termed as limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2B. Mutation in the gene also causes miyoshi myopathy.
