FMRP (also known as FMR1) and its two autosomal homologs (FXR1 and FXR2) all bind RNA and play a role in the pathogenesis of fragile X syndrome (1-3). Each of these related proteins can associate with one another as well as form homodimers (3). FMRP can act as a translation regulator and is a component of RNAi effector complexes (RISC), suggesting a role in gene silencing (4). In , dFMRP associates with Argonaute 2 (Ago2) and Dicer and coimmunoprecipitates with miRNA and siRNA. These results suggest that fragile X syndrome is related to abnormal translation caused by a defect in RNAi-related pathways (5). In addition, FMRP, FXR1, and FXR2 are components of stress granules (SG) and have been implicated in the translational regulation of mRNAs (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nFMR1; FMRP; FMRP translational regulator 1; fragile X mental retardation 1; Fragile X mental retardation 1 protein; Fragile X mental retardation protein 1; Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1; FRAXA; MGC87458; POF; POF1; premature ovarian failure 1; Protein FMR-1; Synaptic functional regulator FMR1; truncated FMRP\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 80\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799871180969,"sku":"7104T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-7104t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
