TDRKH polyclonal antibody

TDRKH (tudor and KH domain-containing protein), also known as TDRD2 (tudor domain-containing protein 2), is a 561 amino acid protein that contains two KH domains and one tudor domain. TDRKH exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and interacts with HIWI and HILI2. The gene that encodes TDRKH contains roughly 21,310 bases and maps to human chromosome 1q21. With roughly 3,000 genes that span about 260 million base pairs, chromosome 1 makes up approximately 8% of the human genome. There are also a large number of diseases associated with chromosome 1, notably, the rare aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria which is associated with the LMNA gene that encodes lamin A. When defective, the LMNA gene product can build up in the nucleus and cause characteristic nuclear blebs. The MUTYH gene is located on chromosome 1 and is partially responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis. Stickler syndrome, Parkinsons, Gaucher disease and Usher syndrome are also associated with chromosome 1.
