Description: LIS1 Antibody: Lissencephaly is a severe brain developmental disease characterized by the mislocalization of cortical neurons, a smooth cerebral surface, mental retardation, and seizures. Classical lissencephaly is caused by sporadic mutations in the LIS1 gene. While LIS1 is known to act in a pathway deactivating the lipid messenger platelet-activating factor, LIS1 forms a complex with Nudel and 14-3-3epsilon which is then transported from neuronal cell bodies through the actions of DISC1 and KIF5A, a microtubule-dependent directed motor protein kinesin. Decreased expression of LIS1 blocked neural stem cell division, morphogenesis, and motility, suggesting that LIS1 plays an important role in neuronal cell proliferation and localization in the developing brain. At least two isoforms of LIS1 are known to exist.

Description: Cell cycle progression is controlled in part by a family of cyclin proteins and cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks). Cdk proteins work in concert with cyclins to phosphorylate key substrates involved in cell cycle progression. Another family of proteins, Cdk inhibitors, also play a role in regulating the cell cycle by binding to cyclin-Cdk complexes and modulating their activity. Members of the Cdk family include Cdk2–Cdk8, PCTAIRE-1–3, PITALRE and PITSLRE. PCTAIRE-1, PCTAIRE-2 and PCTAIRE-3 comprise a subfamily of cdc2-related serine/threonine kinases. PCTAIRE-1, which is expressed primarily in mammalian brain, interacts with a variety of proteins and is thought to be part of a multiple signal transduction cascade. PCTAIRE-2, also expressed in brain, may be important in terminally differentiated neurons.

Description: Protocadherins are a large family of cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins that are involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal connections in the brain. There are three protocadherin gene clusters, designated alpha, beta and gamma, all of which contain multiple tandemly arranged genes. PCDH10 (protocadherin 10), also known as PCDH19 or OL-PCDH, is a 1,040 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains six cadherin domains and one transmembrane domain. Expressed at moderate levels in brain, ovary and testis and present at lower levels in all other tissues, PCDH10 functions as a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that may function as a tumor suppressor. When underexpressed, PCDH10 is associated with the progression of various carcinomas, including gastric cancer.

Description: The inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases selectively remove the phosphate from the 5-position of various phosphatidylinositols, which generate second messengers in response to extracellular signals. Synaptojanins are characterized by an N-terminal SAC1-like sequence, a central 5-phosphate domain, and a unique C-terminal sequence and have been shown to use phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate as a substrate. Synaptojanins exist as two isoforms, synaptojanin 1 and 2, which differ in the C-terminal domain, and each isoform has multiple variants produced by alternative splicing. Synaptojanin 1 is expressed as two major forms: the shorter is found in brain while the longer is expressed in peripheral tissues. Eight splice variants of synaptojanin 2 have been detected, including a brain specific isoform. Synaptojanins are thought to participate in the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles and the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.

Description: Somatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biologic effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. SSTR4 is a member of the superfamily of receptors having seven transmembrane segments and is expressed in highest levels in fetal and adult brain and lung.

Description: Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction. G gamma4 interacts with beta-1 and beta-2, but not with beta-3. It is expressed in brain, kidney, pancreas, skeletal muscle and faintly in cardiac muscle.

Description: RCAN2 Antibody: Regulator of calcineurin 2 (RCAN2), also known as ZAKI4 and DSCR1L1, is expressed as two isoforms differing at their N-terminus. The longer of the two (isoform 1) is expressed exclusively in the brain, while isoform 2 is ubiquitously expressed, with highest expression in brain, heart, and muscle. Both isoforms bind to the catalytic subunit of calcineurin, a Ca++-dependent protein phosphatase involved in several neuronal functions, though their C-terminal region and inhibit calcineurin's activity. Unlike isoform 1 of RCAN2, the expression of the second isoform is not induced by the thyroid hormone T3. RCAN2 is a member of a family of three endogenous calcineurin regulators that are located near the minimal supernumerary fragment of chromosome 21 in individuals with Down syndrome, suggesting that they play a role in this syndrome. Multiple isoforms of RCAN2 are known to exist.

Description: This gene encodes the puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase, a zinc metallopeptidase which hydrolyzes amino acids from the N-terminus of its substrate. The protein has been localized to both the cytoplasm and to cellular membranes. This enzyme degrades enkaphalins in the brain, and studies in mouse suggest that it is involved in proteolytic events regulating the cell cycle. [provided by RefSeq]

Description: GOT1L1, Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 1-like protein 1, is a 421 amino acid member of the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. Similar to glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT1), GOT1L1 is found primarily as a homodimer in the cytoplasmic space but also has mitochondrial and chloroplastic isozymes. GOT1L1 transaminates 2-oxoglutarate with L-aspartate to yield oxaloacetate and L-glutamate. This reaction requires a pyridoxal phosphate cofactor to occur. The GOT1L1 peptidase is predominately expressed in the liver and serum levels of this protein can be used as an indicator of liver disease. Also, elevated glutamate concentrations in the brain interstitial fluids can lead to pathological brain conditions. The glutamate-scavenging properties of these aminotranferase type enzymes likely prevent glutamate excitotoxicity and the long-lasting neurological deficits seen after stroke.

Description: Paraneoplastic neurological disorders (PNDs) are rare syndromes that are caused by, or associated with, an underlying neoplasm. The most common neoplasm among young male patients is testicular cancer, but the leading cause among other patients is lung cancer. Most PNDs are caused by an immune response against onconeural antigens, causing progressive neurological damage. The paraneoplastic antigen MA family contains three known members: MA1, MA2 and MA3. MA1, also designated neuron- and testis-specific protein 1, is a nucleolar protein in normal cells but localizes to the cytoplasm of tumor cells. MA2, also designated onconeuronal antigen MA2, is a nucleolar protein expressed in brain and testis. MA3 is highly expressed in brain and testis and is expressed at low levels in heart, trachea and kidney.

Description: BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) belongs to a family of structurally similar peptide hormones, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and urodilatin. ANP and BNP act mainly as cardiac hormones, produced primarily by the atrium and ventricle, respectively, while the gene encoding C-type natriuretic peptide is expressed mainly in the brain. BNP circulates in blood as a peptide hormone with natriuretic, vasodilatory and renin inhibitory properties. It is secreted predominantly by the left ventricular myocytes in response to volume expansion and pressure overload. These peptides are characterized by a common 17 amino acid ring structure with a disulfide bond between two cystein residues. This ring structure shows high homology between different natriuretic.
