Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
• Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human MST1, which shares 83.8% and 89.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MST1, respectively.
• Molecular weight context: reported MW: 80 kDa; calculated MW: nan
• Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
• 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

macrophage stimulating 1. Macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP), also known as HLP, HGFL, or HGFLP, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MST1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene contains four kringle domains and a serine protease domain, similar to that found in hepatic growth factor. Despite the presence of the serine protease domain, the encoded protein may not have any proteolytic activity. The receptor for this protein is RON tyrosine kinase, which upon activation stimulates ciliary motility of ciliated epithelial lung cells. This protein is secreted and cleaved to form an alpha chain and a beta chain bridged by disulfide bonds. Reported localization: Secreted.

Research relevance and current trends

• Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how MST1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
• Immunology: Researchers commonly examine how MST1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
• Innate Immunity: Researchers commonly examine how MST1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications

• Western blotting: compare relative MST1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.

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.
