Description
DOK7 Antibody (PACO03946)
The DOK7 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC003946) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the DOK7 protein, a key player in neuromuscular junction development and maintenance. This antibody, produced in rabbits, shows high reactivity with human samples and is suitable for use in Western blot applications. Its ability to bind specifically to DOK7 allows for precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it ideal for investigations in neurobiology and muscle physiology.DOK7 is a signaling protein that is essential for the proper functioning of neuromuscular synapses, where nerve cells communicate with muscle fibers.
Dysregulation of DOK7 has been linked to neuromuscular disorders, making it a promising target for research into conditions such as congenital myasthenic syndromes and other muscle-related diseases. By studying the role of DOK7 in neuromuscular function, researchers can gain insights that may lead to the development of targeted therapies for these debilitating conditions.

| UniProt Protein Function: | DOK7: docking proteins are enzymatically inert adaptor or scaffolding proteins. They provide a docking platform for the assembly of multimolecular signaling complexes. Probable muscle-intrinsic activator of MUSK that plays an essential role in neuromuscular synaptogenesis. Acts in aneural activation of MUSK and subsequent acetylcholine receptor (AchR) clustering in myotubes. Induces autophosphorylation of MUSK. Interacts with the cytoplasmic part of MUSK. Defects in DOK7 are the cause of congenital myasthenic syndrome type 1B or CMS1B. Three isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is essential for neuromuscular synaptogenesis. The protein functions in aneural activation of muscle-specific receptor kinase, which is required for postsynaptic differentiation, and in the subsequent clustering of the acetylcholine receptor in myotubes. This protein can also induce autophosphorylation of muscle-specific receptor kinase. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial limb-girdle myasthenia autosomal recessive, which is also known as congenital myasthenic syndrome type 1B. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] |
