General description
Retinoschisin 1 (RS1) is a localized in the retina and pineal. Its is encoded by the X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) gene and is 24 kDa. It consists of a signal sequence, RS1 domain, discoidin domain and a C-terminal domain. It is secreted by the retinal neurons as a homo-octameric complex.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 66-78 of human RS1
Application
Yale Center for High Throughput Cell Biology IF-tested antibodies. Each antibody is tested by immunofluorescence against HUVEC cells using the Yale HTCB IF protocol. To learn more about us and Yale Center for High Throughput Cell Biology partnership, visit sigma.com/htcb-if.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Retinoschisin 1 (RS1) plays a role in binding of β-2-laminin, αβ-crystallin, phospholipid, galactose and Na/K ATPase−SARM1 (Sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1) complex. Mutations in the RS1 gene leads to a condition called as X-linked juvenile retinoschisis which leads to macular degradation in males and deterioration of vision.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
