Anti-phospho-Huntington (Ser421)

Anti-Huntington pS421 was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with human based on 100% sequence homology. Cross-reactivity with Huntington pS421 from other sources has not been determined. Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused by a polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat expansion in the huntingtin (Htt) protein. The disease is characterized by neurodegeneration and formation of neuronal intracellular inclusions primarily in the striatum and cortex, leading to personality changes, motor impairment, and dementia. The Huntington's disease protein is ~350kD in size and is localized in the brain. Anti-Huntington antibody is ideal for investigators interested in Neuroscience research.
