SLMAP (sarcolemma associated protein) is a member of tail-anchored proteins composed of several functional domains. The large regions of coiled-coil structure consist of a forkhead-associated domain, a RecN domain, two leucine zipper domains, and a tail-anchor domain. It is ubiquitously present in striated muscles including heart, cardiac, soleus, and smooth muscle.
Synonyms: Anti-Sarcolemmal membrane-associated protein; Anti-Sarcolemmal-associated protein
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: SLMAP (sarcolemma associated protein) is involved in various cellular functions such as apoptosis, protein translocation, and membrane fusion in the organelles. It acts as a novel regulator in cardiac function at the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In cardiac activity, it helps in the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. It exhibit tissue-specific expression and plays an important role in cardiac electrophysiology as well as contractile function in vivo. Mutation in SLMAP may cause Brugada syndrome.
