Application

Anti-MTFP1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot (1:1000).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitochondrial fission process 1/mitochondrial 18 kDa protein (MTFP1/MTP18) controls mitochondrial fission Hence it helps to maintain the morphology of the mitochondria. Overexpression of MTP18 can facilitate fragmentation of the mitochondria. Loss-of-function of MTFP1 protein promotes cell death. It is crucial for cell viability.

General description

Mitochondrial fission process 1/mitochondrial 18 kDa protein (MTFP1/MTP18), a nuclear-encoded integral protein, is located in the mitochondria. It is also a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent protein. MTP18 comprises three α-helical stretches or transmembrane (TM) domains of high hydrophobicity. The MTFP1 gene is located on human chromosome 22q12.2.

Immunogen

Fusion protein corresponding to a region derived from internal residues of human mitochondrial fission process 1

Physical form

Rabbit IgG in pH7.3 PBS, 0.05% NaN₃, 50% Glycerol.

Specificity

The antibody detects endogenous levels of total MTFP1 protein.
