MAT1A Antibody

MAT1A catalyzes a two-step reaction that involves the transfer of the adenosyl moiety of ATP to methionine to form S-adenosylmethionine and tripolyphosphate, which is subsequently cleaved to PPi and Pi. S-adenosylmethionine is the source of methyl groups for most biological methylations. MAT1A is found as a homotetramer (MAT I) or a homodimer (MAT III) whereas a third form, MAT II (gamma), is encoded by the MAT2A gene. Mutations in its gene are associated with methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency.This gne encodes methionine adenosyltransferase I (alpha isoform), which catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. Methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency is caused by recessive and dominant mutations, the latter identified in autosomal dominant persistant hypermethioninemia.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store MAT1A antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

MAT1A antibody can be used for detection of MAT1A by ELISA at 1:1562500. MAT1A antibody can be used for detection of MAT1A by western blot at 2.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
