Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Immunoprecipitation: 1:50 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity SLMAP Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total SLMAP protein. Based on antigen sequence, the antibody is predicted to detect isoforms 1-4 and isoform 6 of SLMAP. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp464 of human SLMAP protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography. Background Sarcolemmal membrane-associated protein (SLMAP) is a tail-anchored membrane protein involved in the docking and membrane fusion process (1). It is also a component of a conserved striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase complex (STRIPAK) which participates in a variety of cellular processes, including signaling, cell cycle control, cell migration, Golgi assembly, and apoptosis (2-4). There are several isoforms of SLMAP as a result of alternative splicing; shorter isoforms exhibit high expression in cardiac muscle, whereas the longer isoforms are expressed more ubiquitously, but at lower levels (5). As a cardiac membrane protein, SLMAP plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling and the adrenergic response, and has been identified as a novel regulator of cardiac function (6-8). In support of that function, mutations in the gene are associated with Brugada syndrome, a cardiac channelopathy (9). Deregulation of SLMAP expression has also been implicated in type 2 diabetes, and changes in SLMAP expression are linked to hyperglycemia and diabetes (10). Additionally, a novel SLMAP-ALK fusion has been identified in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (11).
