Product Name :
PRPF8 polyclonal antibody Background :
PRP8, also designated pre-mRNA-processing-splicing factor 8, is a highly conserved nuclear protein and a central component of the catalytic core of the spliceosome, where it may be involved in various molecular rearrangements. PRP8, which is widely expressed, plays a role in transesterification reactions that regulate splicesome-induced pre-mRNA splicing. Specifically, PRP8 interacts with the GU dinucleotide at the 5' splice site (5'SS) and forms a specific UV-inducible cross-link. It also interacts functionally with the 3'SS, affecting the efficiency of the second catalytic step. PRP8 may play a role in the first transesterification step, as PRP8 mutations that prohibit negative regulation of PRP28 or PRP44/Brr2 subsequently block U4 activation. In addition, PRP8 interacts with a conserved region of U6 that is instrumental in the formation of the catalytic core of the spliceosome. 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.
