Outer Dense Fiber of Sperm Tails 2 (ODF2) Peptide

This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-ODF2 antibody ( ARP53603_P050). It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications. Please inquire for more details.

Background Information: The outer dense fibers are cytoskeletal structures that surround the axoneme in the middle piece and principal piece of the sperm tail. The fibers function in maintaining the elastic structure and recoil of the sperm tail as well as in protecting the tail from shear forces during epididymal transport and ejaculation. Defects in the outer dense fibers lead to abnormal sperm morphology and infertility. ODF2 is one of the major outer dense fiber proteins.The outer dense fibers are cytoskeletal structures that surround the axoneme in the middle piece and principal piece of the sperm tail.

Defects in the outer dense fibers lead to abnormal sperm morphology and infertility. This gene encodes one of the major outer dense fiber proteins. Multiple protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants of this gene, however, not all isoforms and variants have been fully described.
