FEZ1 Antibody: Similar to its C. elegans homolog UNC-76, mammalian FEZ1, an abundant membrane protein and protein kinase C (PKC)-Z substrate, is involved in axonal guidance. Following phosphorylation by PKC-Z, FEZ1 translocates from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm. FEZ1 is then able to interact with a number of proteins involved in axonal outgrowth and cellular transport such as DISC1, a candidate gene for schizophrenia, as well as kinesin-1, a microtubule-based motor protein. FEZ1 also interacts with proteins involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling, suggesting that FEZ1 may have nuclear regulatory functions in addition to those for neuronal development. At least two distinct isoforms of FEZ1 are known to exist.1) Kuroda S, Nakagawa N, Tokunaga C, et al. Mammalian homologue of the Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-76 protein involved in axonal outgrowth is a protein kinase C z-interacting protein. J. Cell Biol.1999; 144:403-11.
Immunogen
FEZ1 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human FEZ1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 270 - 320 of FEZ1.

Tested Applications
ELISAWB
FEZ1 antibody can be used for the detection of FEZ1 by Western blot at 0.5 - 1 μg/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, FEZ1 will often run at higher molecular weight in SDS-PAGE.
