Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human ELAVL4, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 42 kDa; calculated MW: 41770 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IF, IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
ELAV-like protein 4; ELAV-like protein 4. HuD?otherwise known as?ELAV-like protein 4 or PNEM?is a?protein?that in humans is encoded by the?ELAVL4?gene. This human gene is located at 1p34 by in situ hybridization. The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an?RNA-binding protein. ELAVL4?has specificity for 3-prime uridylate-rich untranslated regions of growth factor mRNAs. And HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to?AU-rich element-containing mRNAs. As a result of this interaction the, half-life of the transcript is increased. Also, HuD is important in neurons during brain development and plasticity. Functional note: May play a role in neuron-specific RNA processing. Protects CDKN1A mRNA from decay by binding to its 3'-UTR (By similarity). Binds to AU-rich sequences (AREs) of target mRNAs, including VEGF and FOS mRNA. . Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Brain.
