Anti-SARM1 Antibody

NAD(+) hydrolase sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1), is the fifth member of the Toll/Il-1 Receptor (TIR) domain protein family. The highly conserved 724 amino acid protein is predominantly expressed in the brain, kidney and liver (Mink, M., et al 2001). Furthermore, SARM1 is enriched in the cytoplasm, mitchondria, and the axons, dendrites, and synapses of neurons (Panneerselvam, P., et al, 2012). SARM1 plays a key role in axonal degeneration by catalyzing the cleavage of NAD+ into ADPR, cADPR, and nicotinamide in response to injury triggering Wallerian degeneration (Gerdts, J. et al 2015). SARM1 has also been shown to activate neuronal cell death in response to stress (Peng, J. et al. 2010).
