This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-60029. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Erythroblast membrane-associated protein (ERMAP) is a gene situated on chromosome 1p34.2, encoding a protein primarily associated with erythroblast cells. ERMAP is expressed in erythroid lineage cells and plays a crucial role as an adhesion molecule, involved in the maturation and stability of the erythrocyte membrane. This protein is associated with the Scianna blood group system, and variations within the ERMAP gene lead to different antigenic expressions which are important in transfusion medicine. ERMAP is also significant in mediating cell-cell adhesion processes essential for erythropoiesis, where it facilitates receptor-ligand interactions in hematopoietic stem cells. Mutations or polymorphisms in ERMAP can result in altered blood group antigens, impacting blood transfusion compatibility and potentially leading to hemolytic reactions. Given its distinct role in erythrocyte formation, ERMAP is a subject of interest for further research into blood-related disorders and their genetic underpinnings.
