Rb1590-120910-WS
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from n-terminal region of mouse Mitofusin 1 (Transmembrane GTPase MFN1) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
Transmembrane GTPase MFN1, MFN1
Target
FUNCTION: Essential transmembrane GTPase, which mediates mitochondrial fusion. Fusion of mitochondria occurs in many cell types and constitutes an important step in mitochondria morphology, which is balanced between fusion and fission. MFN1 acts independently of the cytoskeleton. Overexpression induces the formation of mitochondrial networks.
MFN1 deficient mice die early during embryonic development, due to altered mitochondria morphology, which are fragmented, showing that mitochondrial fusion is essential for embryonic development.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
12 months after reconstitution
