Clone Names | 2020511 |
Gene ID | 53332 |
---|---|
Other Names | Myotubularin-related protein 1, Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate phosphatase, Mtmr1 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6801a was selected from the N-term region of human MTMR1 . 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 | Mtmr1 |
---|---|
Function | Lipid phosphatase that has high specificity for phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and has no activity with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol (4,5)- bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PubMed:12217958). Activity with phosphatidylinositol (3,5)- bisphosphate is controversial; it has been shown for the human ortholog (By similarity). In contrast, PubMed:12217958 find no activity with this substrate. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Detected in skeletal muscle, heart, lung, liver and brain. |

Background
MTM1 gene mutations cause X-linked myotubular myopathy. The corresponding protein, myotubularin, contains the consensus active site of tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) and is a tyrosine/serine phosphatase. The 3.7-kb MTMR1 mRNA is expressed ubiquitously. An additional 3.1-kb transcript was detected only in placenta. Analysis of the genomic region containing MTM1 and MTMR1 reveals that the 2 genes share a similar structure, suggesting that they are related and arose from an intrachromosomal gene duplication. The 2 main MTMR1 protein muscular isoforms, like myotubularin, dephosphorylate PI(3)P in vitro. There is a striking reduction in the level of the muscle-specific isoform and the appearance of an abnormal MTMR1 transcript in cultured differentiated muscle cells and in skeletal muscle from congenital myotonic dystrophy patients. MTMR1 may play a role in muscle formation, and may represent another target for abnormal mRNA splicing in myotonic dystrophy.
