Fukutin-related protein Antibodies

AND FKRP ELISA kits, Fukutin-related protein Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Fukutin-related protein, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Fukutin-related protein in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Fukutin-related protein antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Fukutin-related protein by testing them on tissues known to express FKRP positively and negatively. Browse below to find the FKRP antibody that suites your experiment. We have 2 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

FKRP Overview

Facts about Fukutin-related protein.

FKRP 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Fukutin-related protein (FKRP)

Catalyzes the transfer of CDP-ribitol to ribitol 5- phosphate formerly attached by FKTN/fukutin of into the phosphorylated O-mannosyl trisaccharide (N-acetylgalactosamine- beta-3-N-acetylglucosamine-beta-4-(phosphate-6-)mannose), a carbohydrate structure present in alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1) (PubMed:25279699, PubMed:26923585, PubMed:29477842). This constitutes the second step in the formation of the ribose 5- phosphate tandem repeat which links the phosphorylated O-mannosyl trisaccharide into the ligand binding moiety composed of repeats of 3-xylosyl-alpha-1,3-glucuronic acid-beta-1 (PubMed:25279699, PubMed:26923585, PubMed:29477842).

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the retina (at protein level) (PubMed:29416295). Expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle, placenta, and heart and relatively weakly in brain, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas (PubMed:11592034).

Subcellular Localizations

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Secreted. Cell membrane, sarcolemma. Rough endoplasmic reticulum. Cytoplasm. According to some studies the N-terminal hydrophobic domain is cleaved after translocation to the Golgi apparatus and the protein is secreted (PubMed:19900540). Localization at the cell membrane may require the presence of dystroglycan (By similarity). At the Golgi apparatus localizes to the middle-to-trans-cisternae, as assessed by MG160 colocalization. Detected in rough endoplasmic reticulum in myocytes (PubMed:17554798, PubMed:21886772). In general, mu
