RNA Binding Motif Protein 25 (RBM25, RNA-binding Protein 25, Arg/Glu/Asp-rich Protein of 120kD, Protein S164, RED120, RNA-binding Region-containing Protein 7, RNPC7)

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNP) bind to nascent RNA polymerase II transcripts and are involved in transcript-specific packaging as well as alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. hnRNPs also appear to influence mRNA metabolism and transport. In vivo, the M proteins bind to mRNA, and in vitro they bind avidly to poly(G) and poly(U) homopolymers. Four different isoforms of hnRNP are produced by alternative splicing: M1, M2, M3, and M4. Ongoing studies have theorized that hnRNPs may cause certain genetic diseases such as myotonic dystrophy, which is the most common form of adult muscular dystrophy. The identification of hnRNPs may therefore be important to determining the cause and cure for genetic diseases.\n\nThis gene encodes an oxygen-binding protein that is distantly related to members of the globin gene family. It is highly conserved among other vertebrates. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system where it may be involved in increasing oxygen availability and providing protection under hypoxic/ischemic conditions.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
