Rabbit Anti-ATX2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA) are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord. Clinically, ADCA has been divided into three groups: ADCA types I-III. ATX2 belongs to the autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias type I (ADCA I) which are characterized by cerebellar ataxia in combination with additional clinical features like optic atrophy, ophthalmoplegia, bulbar and extrapyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy and dementia. ATX2 is caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in the coding region of ATX2. Longer expansions result in earlier onset of the disease. There are four named isoforms.
Subunit:
Monomer. Can also form homodimers.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas and placenta. Isoform 1 is predominant in the brain and spinal cord. Isoform 4 is more abundant in the cerebellum. In the brain, broadly expressed in the amygdala, caudate nucleus, corpus callosum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus and thalamus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the ataxin-2 family.
