Rabbit Anti-EVC1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
EVC is an autosomal skeletal dysplasia caused by mutations in the EVC and EVC2 genes. Found in developing ribs, heart, kidney and lung, the EVC gene is responsible for normal development of the face, limbs, teeth and nails. The protein expressed by the EVC gene is an intracellular component of the hedgehog signal pathway that contains a leucine zipper and transmembrane domain. Defects in the EVC gene can lead to short-limb dwarfism, ectodermal dysplasia and cardiac anomalies such as irregular atrioventricular septum development. Additionally, the EVC gene has been implicated in Weyers acrodental dysostosis, an autosomal dominant disease characterized by facial abnormalities and limb defects.
Function:
Ellis van Creveld syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the clinical tetrad of chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cardiac anomalies. Patients manifest short limb dwarfism, short ribs, postaxial polydactyly and dysplastic nails and teeth. Congenital heart defects, most commonly an atrioventricular septal defect, are observed in 60% of affected individuals. Defects in this protein are a cause of Ellis van Creveld syndrome (EVC).
Subunit:
Interacts with EVC2 (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single pass membrane protein
Tissue Specificity:
Found in the developing vertebral bodies, ribs, upper and lower limbs, heart, kidney, lung.
DISEASE:
Defects in EVC are a cause of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) [MIM:225500]; also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia. EVC is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the clinical tetrad of chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cardiac anomalies. Patients manifest short-limb dwarfism, short ribs, postaxial polydactyly and dysplastic nails and teeth. Congenital heart defects, most commonly an atrioventricular septal defect, are observed in 60% of affected individuals.
Defects in EVC are a cause of acrofacial dysostosis Weyers type (WAD) [MIM:193530]; also known as Curry-Hall syndrome. Acrofacial dysostoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders combining limb defects with facial abnormalities. WAD is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by dysplastic nails, postaxial polydactyly, acrofacial dysostosis, short limbs and short stature. The phenotype is milder than Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.
