Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human Menin recombinant protein (Position: P301-L615). Human Menin shares 93% and 94% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Menin, respectively. (reported region: P301-L615).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 68 kDa; calculated MW: 68023 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Menin; Menin. The MEN1 gene encodes menin, a nuclear scaffold protein that regulates gene transcription by coordinating chromatin remodeling. It is mapped to 11q13.1. MEN1 is considered to act as a tumor suppressor gene. It has been found that that MEN1 inactivation by antisense RNA antagonizes transforming growth factor-beta-mediated cell growth inhibition. Overexpression of MEN1 in an inducible cell culture system downregulated the proximal promoter. In vitro studies have shown that MEN1 is localized to the nucleus, possesses two functional nuclear localization signals, and inhibits transcriptional activation by JunD. What’s more, MEN1 was essential to maintain MLL-associated myeloid transformation. Functional note: Essential component of a MLL/SET1 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, a complex that specifically methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4). Functions as a transcriptional regulator. Binds to the TERT promoter and represses telomerase expression. Plays a role in TGFB1-mediated inhibition of cell-proliferation, possibly regulating SMAD3 transcriptional activity. Represses JUND-mediated transcriptional activation on AP1 sites, as well as that mediated by NFKB subunit RELA. Positively regulates HOXC8 and HOXC6 gene expression. May be involved in normal hematopoiesis through the activation of HOXA9 expression (By similarity). May be involved in DNA repair. . Reported localization: Nucleus . Concentrated in nuclear body-like structures. Relocates to the nuclear matrix upon gamma irradiation. Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitous.

Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
