Rabbit Anti-Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) Polyclonal Antibody

The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a critical regulatory protein involved in the development and function of the nervous system. FMRP plays a significant role in the control of protein synthesis, particularly in the regulation of the translation of specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in neurons. The absence or dysfunction of FMRP is associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), the leading inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. FMRP is considered a target for therapeutic intervention in FXS due to its pivotal role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. Targeting FMRP involves strategies aimed at restoring its normal function or compensating for its loss.
