The protein shares sequence similarity and iron-binding properties with members of the transferrin superfamily. The importance of the iron binding function has not yet been identified. This gene resides in the same region of chromosome 3 as members of the transferrin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIsoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContext-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blot (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms\/PTMs) across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry (IHC):\u003c\/strong\u003e assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eApparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecies reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO\/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt entry for MELTF (P08582) — UniProt Consortium — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P08582 - Ensembl gene summary for MELTF — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org - HGNC gene symbol report for MELTF — HGNC — https:\/\/www.genenames.org - Antibody validation concepts (general) — NIH\/NCBI resources — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --\u003e","brand":"Boster Bio","offers":[{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Unconjugated","offer_id":53068654281069,"sku":"A12988-1","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Biotin","offer_id":53069434945901,"sku":"A12988-1-Biotin","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Cy3","offer_id":53069434978669,"sku":"A12988-1-Cy3","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro488","offer_id":53069435011437,"sku":"A12988-1-Fluoro488","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro550","offer_id":53069435044205,"sku":"A12988-1-Fluoro550","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro594","offer_id":53069435076973,"sku":"A12988-1-Fluoro594","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ FITC","offer_id":53069435109741,"sku":"A12988-1-FITC","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ HRP","offer_id":53069435142509,"sku":"A12988-1-HRP","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ APC","offer_id":53069435175277,"sku":"A12988-1-APC","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ PE","offer_id":53069435208045,"sku":"A12988-1-PE","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro647","offer_id":53069435240813,"sku":"A12988-1-Fluoro647","price":670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Carrier Free","offer_id":53069435273581,"sku":"A12988-1-carrier-free","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/a12988-1-meltf-primary-antibodies-wb-testing-1.jpg?v=1772611751","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/anti-meltf-antibody-picoband-bha21006142","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
