The 3H7 monoclonal antibody recognizes human PTBP1 also known as Polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1, Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein I, and 57 kD RNA-binding protein. PTBP1 is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein with a predicted molecular weight approximately 59.6 kD. The polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) is an important regulator of alternative splicing that also affects mRNA localization, stabilization, polyadenylation, and translation. PTBP1 has been shown to interact with FUS, Caspase3, PKCa, Raver1, and HnRNP-L protein. The PTB gene contains 15 exons and spans 13.5 kb. The 3H7 antibody has been shown to be useful for Western blotting.
