Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13568a was selected from the N-term region of DOK7. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | DOK7 |
---|---|
Synonyms | C4orf25 |
Function | 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. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Synapse. Note=Accumulates at neuromuscular junctions. |
Tissue Location | Preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. Present in thigh muscle, diaphragm and heart but not in the liver or spleen (at protein level). |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is essential forneuromuscular synaptogenesis. The protein functions in aneuralactivation of muscle-specific receptor kinase, which is requiredfor postsynaptic differentiation, and in the subsequent clusteringof the acetylcholine receptor in myotubes. This protein can alsoinduce autophosphorylation of muscle-specific receptor kinase.Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial limb-girdlemyasthenia autosomal recessive, which is also known as congenitalmyasthenic syndrome type 1B. Alternative splicing results inmultiple transcript variants.
