A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of C17 orf71 antibody, Alternative Names: C17ORF71 control peptide, C17ORF71 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-C17ORF71 Blocking Peptide, FLJ10587 Blocking Peptide
The C17ORF71 protein is a component of the SMG1C complex, a mRNA surveillance complex that recognises and degrades mRNAs containing premature translation termination codons (PTCs) via the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The complex probably acts by associating with ribosomes during tranlation termination on mRNPs. If an exon junction complex (EJC) is located 50-55 or more nucleotides downstream from the termination codon, SMG1 phosphorylates UPF1/RENT1, triggering nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
