Gene Information

human ... MANF(7873)

General description

MANF, also known as ARMET, was initially identified as a protein containing an arginine-rich region that was highly mutated in a variety of tumors. More recently it was identified as a mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor with selectivity for dopaminergic neurons, similar to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and CDNF. In rat brain slices, MANF enhanced nigral gamma-aminobutyric acid release. Like GDNF and CDNF, MANF has selective neuroprotective activity for dopaminergic neurons suggesting that it may be indicated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Expression of MANF has also been shown to be induced during ER stress, suggesting that it may play a role in protein quality control during ER stress.

Specificity

This antibody does not cross-react with CDNF.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human MANF.

Application

Detect the MANF protein using this Anti-MANF validated for use in WB & IHC.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution from a representative lot detected MANF in human midbrain and rat brain tissues.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in PC12 cell lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected MANF in 15 µg/mL of PC12 cell lysate.

Target description

~18 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight is 21 kDa, however MANF has been shown as an ~18 kDa band in western blots. (Mizobuchi, N., et al. (2007). Cell Structure and Function. 32:41-50.). Uncharacterized bands may appear at ~25 kDa and ~100 kDa in some lysates.

Physical form

Antigen Affinity Purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing PBS with 0.02% sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Analysis Note

Control
PC12 cell lysate
