epitope corresponding to amino acids 281-320 mapping near the C-terminus of Msi1 of human origin
Modification Notes
Musashi1 (Msi1) is an RNA-binding protein expressed in neural progenitor cells and neural stem cells (1). Msi1 is the mammalian homolog of Drosophila Musashi (1). The gene encoding human Msi1 encodes a 362 amino acid protein (2). In murine embryonic neural progenitor cells, Msi1 localizes to the cytoplasm and is downregulated during differentiation (1). Msi1 binds to NUMB, which encodes a membrane-associated antagonist of Notch signaling (3). Msi1 appears to function in the proliferation and maintenance of stem cell populations of the central nervous system (4). In addition to its usefulness as a marker for neural progenitor cells in normal human brains, Msi1 is also a marker for human gliomas (5). In rats, Msi1 is expressed in Sertoli cells of the testis and granulosa cells of the ovary (6).
