Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of PFN1. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
Profilin-1 (PFN1) plays an important role in the control of actin dynamics, and could represent an important therapeutic target in several diseases. PFN1 is identified as a huntingtin aggregation inhibitor, and may serves as a tumor-suppressor. PFN1 is crucial for the conversion of monomeric (G)-actin to filamentous (F)-actin. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder resulting from motor neuron death. Cells expressing PFN1 mutants contain ubiquitinated, insoluble aggregates that in many cases contain the ALS-associated protein TDP-43. Recently, PFN1 is a potential biomarker for bladder cancer aggressiveness and may be of great clinical importance.
