A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of GSN antibody, Alternative Names: Gelsolin control peptide, Gelsolin antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-Gelsolin Blocking Peptide, GSN Blocking Peptide, Amyloidosis Blocking Peptide, DKFZp313L0718 Blocking Peptide
GSN binds to the 'plus' ends of actin monomers and filaments to prevent monomer exchange. It is a calcium-regulated protein, which functions in both assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. Defects in the gene encoding GSN are a cause of familial amyloidosis Finnish type (FAF).
