Anti-RBPMS Antibody from rabbit, purified by affinity chromatography

RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing (UniProt Q93062; also known as Heart and RRM expressed sequence, Hermes, RBP-MS) is encoded by the RBPMS (also known as HERMES) gene (Gene ID 11030) in human. RBPMS is a member of the RRM (RNA recognition motif) family of RNA-binding proteins. Transcriptome-wide study using photoactivatable-ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) in HEK293 cells reveals both exonic mature and intronic pre-mRNA-binding sites, in agreement with the nuclear and cytoplasmic localization of the RRM family proteins. RBPMS is found to be exclusively expressed in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and displaced RGCs (dRGCs). RBPMS expression can therefore be utitized as a RGC marker, and the RBPMS gene promoter could be utilized for driving RGC-specific transgene expression.
