Rabbit Anti-Nebulin/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Nebulin is a high molecular weight protein (500-800 kD), localized at the N2-line of skeletal muscle myofibrils. It exhibits an elastic stretch dependence, as it maintains the same proportional distance between the z-line and the m-line as the sarcomere is stretched.
Function:
This giant muscle protein may be involved in maintaining the structural integrity of sarcomeres and the membrane system associated with the myofibrils. Bind and stabilize F-actin.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm > myofibril > sarcomere. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton.
Tissue Specificity:
Muscle specific. Located in the thin filament of striated muscle.
DISEASE:
Defects in NEB are the cause of nemaline myopathy type 2 (NEM2) [MIM:256030]. A form of nemaline myopathy. Nemaline myopathies are muscular disorders characterized by muscle weakness of varying severity and onset, and abnormal thread-or rod-like structures in muscle fibers on histologic examination.
Similarity:
Contains 178 nebulin repeats.
Contains 1 SH3 domain.
