Amino acids ESRKLEKSEDEPPLTLPKPSLIPQEVKICIE of human Ataxin 1 were used as the immunogen for the ATXN1 antibody.
Ataxin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATXN1 gene. The ATXN1 gene had been mapped to 6p23 by in situ hybridization. Ataxin-1 (ATXN1), a causative factor for spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), and the related Brother of ATXN1 (BOAT1) are human proteins involved in transcriptional repression. ATXN1 and BOAT1 might participate in several Notch-controlled developmental and pathological processes.
