This antibody recognises disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1), 93 kDa protein located in the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Purification
Antisera to human DISC1 were raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
Immunogen
An 18 amino acid peptide located near the centre of human DISC1.
Western Blot: 1 - 2g/mL, detects bands of approximately 95100 kDa in SKNSH cell lysate. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
The DISC1 protein is widely expressed in normal tissues. It is involved in neurite outgrowth and cortical development through its interaction with a variety of proteins including lissencephaly-1 (LIS1), NudeE-like (NUDEL) and phosphodiesterase 4B. In certain cases of schizophrenia the DISC1 gene has been found to be disrupted by a t(1,11) (q42.1,q14.3) translocation, and studies suggest that DISC1 could be a candidate susceptibility gene for this condition.Synonyms: DISC-1, Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 protein, KIAA0457
