Anti-MTHFD1 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1448-280)

General description

MTHFD1 (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1) is a trifunctional enzyme, which has the 5,10-methenylTHF cyclohydrolase and dehydrogenase active site at its N-terminal. Its 10-formylTHF synthetase domain is present at the C-terminal. This gene is localized to human chromosome 14q23.3, is 71kb in size and contains 28 exons.

Immunogen

C-1-tetrahydrofolate synthase, cytoplasmic recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MTHFD1 (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1) resides in the nucleus, where it plays an essential role in the de novo synthesis of dTMP (thymidine monophosphate). It acts as three different enzymes namely, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase and 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase. Inactivation of this gene results in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), megaloblastic anaemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, and severe combined immunodeficiency. Studies in South Indian population show that 1958G>A variant in this gene is associated with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP). It is also linked to congential abnormalities due to aberrant folate metabolism such as, defects in neural tube and cardiac defects.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST70421.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
