Microfibrils are an important component of the extracellular matrix of many tissues and can either associate with or without elastin. Several microfibril associated proteins (MFAPs) have been cloned, including MFAP1, MFAP3 and MFAP4. The MFAP1 and MFAP3 genes are localized near the fibrillin genes FBN1 and FBN2, respectively. Mutations in FBN1 are linked to Marfan syndrome. Mutations in FBN2 have been linked to congenital contractural arachnodactyly. This suggests roles for MFAP1 and MFAP3 in heritable diseases affecting microfibrils. Deletion of MFAP4 was found in 30 of 31 patients with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), a clinically recognizable multiple congenital anomaly\/mental retardation syndrome\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWestern blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImmunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpitope context:\u003c\/strong\u003e binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title\/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies differences:\u003c\/strong\u003e predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e include negative controls (no-primary\/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO\/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry P55081 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P55081 - Gene search: MFAP1 — NCBI Gene — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=MFAP1 - Ensembl search: MFAP1 — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=MFAP1 - PubMed search: MFAP1 antibody — PubMed — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=MFAP1+antibody - Reactome search: MFAP1 — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=MFAP1 --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53046477848941,"sku":"RQ8395","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_36b72dec-988a-4c67-9c8f-ff07484bcaed.jpg?v=1772000845","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/mfap1-antibody-microfibrillar-associated-protein-1-bha17129952","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
