Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity SMN (F9B6P) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total SMN protein. Based on sequence, this antibody will recognize full-length SMN protein, as well as SMNΔ7, which is the predominant product of the Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro70 of human SMN protein. Background The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein is ubiquitously expressed in mammals and encoded by two genes, and (1,2). The protein coding sequences of SMN1 and SMN2 are predicted to be identical, as SMN2 differs from SMN1 by only five nucleotides (3). SMN impacts various aspects of RNA metabolism, and is required for biogenesis of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particles critical for pre-mRNA splicing. Furthermore, SMN, needed for stress granule formation, is found in ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules moving through neuronal processes and is part of RNP complexes implicated in synaptic local translation (4,5). Mutations in its coding genes, or , are linked to neuromuscular disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic cause of infant mortality (2-6). The severity of SMA is inversely proportional to SMN2 copy number. Over 96% of SMA patients have homozygous mutations (deletion, rearrangement, or point mutation) in SMN1, however they retain at least one copy of SMN2 (1).
