NRL, Protein Lysate

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Add 200ul of distilled water. Final concentration is 1 mg/ml. For longer periods of storage, store at -20 degree C. Avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of NRL protein lysate vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Partial length NRL is expressed in E. coli.

Target Description: This gene encodes a basic motif-leucine zipper transcription factor of the Maf subfamily. The encoded protein is conserved among vertebrates and is a critical intrinsic regulator of photoceptor development and function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa and retinal degenerative diseases.

NRL: Transcription factor which regulates the expression of several rod-specific genes, in cluding RHO and PDE6B. Defects in NRL are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 27 (RP27). RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP27 inheritance is autosomal dominant. Defects in NRL are a cause of retinal degeneration autosomal recessive clumped pigment type (RDCP). A retinopathy characterized by night blindness since early childhood, consistent with a severe reduction in rod function. Color vision is normal although there is a relatively enhanced function of short-wavelength-sensitive cones in the macula. Signs of retinal degeneration and clusters of clumped pigment deposits in the peripheral fundus at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium are present (clumped pigmentary retinal degeneration). Belongs to the bZIP family.
