products description :
Goat anti Human Desmin antibody recognizes an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of human Desmin, a type III intermediate filament (IF), localized near the Z line in sacromeres of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle tissue. Desmin plays an essential role in the architecture of muscle cells, connecting the Z-disk to the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton, and the contractile apparatus to the, mitochondria, cell nucleus and post-synaptic areas of motor endplates. Desmin is an early indicator for muscle tissue in embryogenesis, and a marker for tumours of myogenic origin. Mutations in the Desmin gene, are responsible for the neuromuscular disorder known as desmin-related cardio skeletal myopathy (CSM), characterized by skeletal muscle weakness.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a muscle-specific class III intermediate filament. Homopolymers of this protein form a stable intracytoplasmic filamentous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
desmin: a class-III intermediate filaments found in muscle cells. In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies. Protein type: Cytoskeletal; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q35. Cellular Component: intermediate filament; fascia adherens; Z disc; cytosol; neuromuscular junction; sarcolemma. Molecular Function: identical protein binding; protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; cytoskeletal protein binding. Biological Process: muscle contraction; cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; regulation of heart contraction; muscle filament sliding. Disease: Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, 1i; Scapuloperoneal Syndrome, Neurogenic, Kaeser Type; Myopathy, Myofibrillar, 1; Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-girdle, Type 2r
