Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human MNAT1 recombinant protein (Position: L92-A278). Human MNAT1 shares 93% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse MNAT1. (reported region: L92-A278).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 36 kDa; calculated MW: 35823 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, 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
CDK-activating kinase assembly factor MAT1; CDK-activating kinase assembly factor MAT1. CDK-activating kinase assembly factor MAT1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MNAT1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene, along with cyclin H and CDK7, forms the CDK-activating kinase (CAK) enzymatic complex. This complex activates several cyclin-associated kinases and can also associate with TFIIH to activate transcription by RNA polymerase II. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Functional note: Stabilizes the cyclin H-CDK7 complex to form a functional CDK-activating kinase (CAK) enzymatic complex. CAK activates the cyclin-associated kinases CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 by threonine phosphorylation. CAK complexed to the core-TFIIH basal transcription factor activates RNA polymerase II by serine phosphorylation of the repetitive C-terminal domain (CTD) of its large subunit (POLR2A), allowing its escape from the promoter and elongation of the transcripts. Involved in cell cycle control and in RNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. . Reported localization: Nucleus. Expression/tissue context: Highest levels in colon and testis. Moderate levels are present thymus, prostate, ovary, and small intestine. The lowest levels are found in spleen and leukocytes.
