Anti-Phospho-Ser499 FMRP (Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein)
products short name :
[FMRP (Ser499)]
other names :
[fragile X mental retardation protein 1 homolog; Fragile X mental retardation protein 1 homolog; fragile X mental retardation protein 1 homolog; protein FMR-1; fragile X mental retardation-1 protein; fragile X mental retardation syndrome 1 homolog; fragile X mental retardation 1]
products gene name :
[FMR1]
other gene names :
[Fmr1; Fmr1; FMRP; FMRP]
uniprot entry name :
FMR1_RAT
specificity :
Specific for ~71k FMRP protein phosphorylated at Ser 499 . Immunolabeling of the FMRP protein is completely eliminated by lambda-phosphatase.
purity :
Affinity Purified
form :
100 ul in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Adequate amount of material to conduct 10-mini Western Blots
storage stability :
For long term storage -80°C is recommended, but shorter term storage at -20°C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stock solutions are stable for a minimum of 1 year at -20°C.
tested application :
Western Blot (WB) and Dot blots (DB). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has not yet been determined.
app notes :
Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot. WB: 1:1000. DB: 1:1000

products description :
Affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody. Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in cognitive brain function. Mutations in the FMR1 gene, which codes for FMRP, can result in fragile X syndrome, autism, as well as other cognitive deficits (Brown et al.,1998, Goodlin-Jones et al., 2004). Phosphorylation of the highly conserved Ser499 has been shown to trigger hierarchical phosphorylation of nearby serines and may play a role in suppressing target mRNA translation (Ceman et al., 2003, Narayanan et al. 2008).

uniprot summary :
Function: Translation repressor. Component of the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex which binds to the mRNA cap and mediates translational repression. In the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex this subunit mediates translation repression. RNA-binding protein that plays a role in intracellular RNA transport and in the regulation of translation of target mRNAs. Associated with polysomes. Involved in the transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Binds strongly to poly(G), binds moderately to poly(U) but shows very little binding to poly(A) or poly(C) . By similarity. Subunit structure: Homooligomer. Found in a RNP granule complex with IGF2BP1. Directly interacts with SMN and TDRD3. Interacts with the SMN core complex that contains SMN1, GEMIN2/SIP1, DDX20/GEMIN3, GEMIN4, GEMIN5, GEMIN6, GEMIN7, GEMIN8 and STRAP/UNRIP. Interacts with FXR1, FXR2, IGF2BP1, NUFIP1, NUFIP2, MCRS1 and RANBP9. Component of the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex which is composed of CYFIP, EIF4E and FMR1. Interacts with CYFIP1 and CYFIP2. The interaction with brain cytoplasmic RNA 1 (BC1) increases binding affinity for the CYFIP1-EIF4E complex in the brain . By similarity. Subcellular location: Cytoplasm . By similarity. Nucleus nucleolus . By similarity. Domain: The tandem Tudor domains preferentially recognize trimethylated histone peptides . By similarity. Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated on several serine residues . By similarity. Miscellaneous: RNA-binding activity is inhibited by RANBP9 . By similarity. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the FMR1 family.Contains 2 Agenet-like domains.Contains 2 KH domains. Sequence caution: The sequence AAB07073.1 differs from that shown. Reason: N-ter sequencing errors.
