IRGM1 monoclonal antibody Background :
Immunity-related GTPase family M protein 1 (IRGM, LRG-47) belongs to the p47 family of immunity related guanosine triphosphatases that regulate innate immune responses to intracellular pathogens. Research studies indicate that IRGM plays a role in autophagy during clearance of intracellular bacteria. Expression of IRGM in mice, but not in humans, is induced by inflammatory signals that include interferon and LPS. Polymorphisms in the corresponding IRGM gene are associated with some cases of tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, and severe sepsis. Additional studies indicate that IRGM functions through regulation of autophagy. Mitochondrial IRGM plays a role in mitochondrial fission, membrane polarization, and mitophagy. Knockout mice for IRGM show increased susceptibility to infection as well as intestinal inflammation and Paneth cell abnormalities. Knockout mice against IRGM are also resistant to neuronal autophagy following stroke. RNA viruses commonly target IRGM in order to suppress autophagy and enhance infection. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
