Background information
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. SMA is caused by deletion or loss-of-function mutations of SMN (survival of motor neuron) gene. SMN, also known as Gemin1, SMN1, SMNT and BCD541, exists as four isoforms produced by alternative splicing. SMN is oligomeric and forms a complex with Gemin2 (formerly SIP1), Gemin3 (a DEAD box RNA helicase), Gemin4, Gemin5 and Gemin6, as well as several spliceosomal snRNP proteins. The SMN complex plays an essential role in splicesomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm and is required for pre-mRNA splicing of the nucleus. The SMN complex is found in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The nuclear form is concentrated in subnuclear bodies called gems (gemini of the coiled bodies). Cytoplasmic SMN interacts with spliceosomal Sm proteins and facilitates their assembly onto U snRNAs, and nuclear SMN mediates recycling of pre-mRNA splicing factors. Nearly identical telomeric and centromeric forms of SMN encode the same protein; however, only mutations in the telomeric form are associated with the disease-state SMA. SMN is expresed in a wide variety of tissues including brain, kidney, liver, spinal cord and moderately in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

Advisory
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles as they may denaturate the polypeptide chains of the antibody, thus reducing its reactivity, specificity and sensitivity. For antibodies that are in liquid form or reconstituted lyophilized antibodies small amounts could become entrapped on the seal or the walls of the tube. Prior to use briefly centrifuge the vial to gather all the solution on the bottom.

About
Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera.
