Anti-Mitofusin 1 MFN1 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 3H3) (Biotine Conjugate)

Mitofusin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFN1 gene. It is an 80-90 kDa mitochondrial member of the dynamin family of molecules. It is ubiquitously expressed, and found in the outer mitochondrial membrane. The protein encoded by this gene is a mediator of mitochondrial fusion, and thereby contribute to the dynamic balance between fusion and fission that determines mitochondria morphology. MFN1 is known to form oligomers, either with itself or MFN-2, and to undergo ubiquitination by MARCH5. MFN-1 has two key domains. One is a coiled-coil region that mediates MFN-1: MFN-1/2 binding, and a second is a GTPase domain whose cleavage of GTP is necessary for membrane fusion. Overexpression of MFN1 caused perinuclear mitochondrial clustering.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human Mitofusin 1, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

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.

Store at -20℃ for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4℃ for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20℃ for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
