epitope corresponding to amino acids 741-1040 mapping within an internal region of Desmuslin of human origin
Modification Notes
Cytoskeletal intermediate filaments constitute a diverse group of proteins that are expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. Intermediate filaments are composed of two-chain, å-helical, coiled-coil molecules arranged on an imperfect helical lattice. They are widely used as markers for distinguishing individual cell types within a tissue and identifying the origins of metastatic tumors. Desmuslin is a type-VI intermediate filament which may act as a mechanical support to the muscle fibers by forming a linkage between the extracellular matrix via the Z-disk and the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC). The Desmuslin protein interacts with desmin as well as å-dystrobrevin and is mainly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle, but can also be detected in brain. Desmuslin contains a conserved rod domain, a short N-terminal domain and a long C-terminal domain.
