MORC1 Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide

Background:
This gene encodes the human homolog of mouse morc and likethe mouse protein it is testis-specific. Mouse studies support atestis-specific function since only male knockout mice areinfertile; infertility is the only apparent defect. These studiesfurther support a role for this protein early in spermatogenesis,possibly by affecting entry into apoptosis because testis fromknockout mice show greatly increased numbers of apoptotic cells.

Other Names:
MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 1, Cancer/testis antigen 33, CT33, MORC1 {ECO:0000312|EMBL:AAH503071}

Target/Specificity:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13528b was selected from the C-term region of MORC1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.

Gene Name: MORC1 {ECO:0000312|EMBL:AAH50307.1}
