Verwenden
Anti-MYOF antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project
(www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these

Allgemeine Beschreibung
The gene MYOF (myoferlin) encodes a type II membrane protein that shares homology with dysferlin. It is predominantly expressed in developing muscle and extensively in cardiac muscle. It is a member of the ferlin family of proteins. These proteins contain C2 domains that are important in calcium-mediated membrane fusion events. Myoferlin is found to be associated with both plasma membrane and nuclear membrane.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Myoferlin is involved in the fusion of endomembrane with the plasma membrane in muscle cells and endothelial cells. It forms a complex with dynamin-2 (Dyn-2) and promotes the surface expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. The protein complex of myoferlin-Dyn-2-Cav-1 (caveolin-1) participates in the processes of membrane fusion and fission. Myoferlin is also implicated in receptor-dependent endocytosis. It is crucial for muscle development and regeneration, and its expression is found to increase in skeletal muscle on injury. It participates in vesicle recycling and its deficiency can lead to accumulation of transferrin in the perinuclear endocytic recycling compartment in the myoblasts. It regulates postnatal muscle growth mediated by IGF1 (insulin-like growth factor 1).
