MFSD2A Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
MFSD2A antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human MFSD2A. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of MFSD2A.
MFSD2A antibody can be used for detection of MFSD2A by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples, Immunohistochemistry in human, mouse, and rat samples and Immunofluorescence in mouse and rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

MFSD2A Antibody: Multidrug transporters, such as MFSD2A, are membrane proteins that expel a wide spectrum of cytotoxic compounds from the cell and render cells resistant to multiple drugs. Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) members are capable of transporting various substrates such as sugars, polyols, drugs, neurotransmitters, amino acids, peptides, and inorganic anions, although most members are substrate-specific. MFSD2A is a novel lung cancer tumor suppressor gene that regulates cell cycle progression and matrix attachment and has recently been described as the human receptor for syncytin-2, a retrovirus-derived protein mediating fusion of placental trophoblasts. MFSD2A is expressed in many tissues and is highly induced in liver and brown adipose tissue (BAT) during fasting. The activation of the betaAR signaling pathway plays a major role in the induction of MFSD2A expression during adaptive thermogenesis.
