Dysferlin is the protein product of the 2p13 gene that is defective in patients with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and MiyoshiMyopathy (MM). Dysferlin is normally localized to the muscle plasma membrane. Patients with LGMD2B and MM, the immunoreactivity to dysferlin is severely reduced or lost, depending on the type of mutation. This antibody is used for the characterization of LGMD2B and MM.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
