Beschreibung

General description

Frataxin, mitochondrial (UniProt: Q16595; also known as EC:1.16.3.1, Friedreich ataxia protein, Fxn) is encoded by the FXN (also known as FRDA, X25) gene (Gene ID: 2395) in human. Frataxin is a highly conserved mitochondrial protein that promotes the biosynthesis of heme and assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe2+ to proteins involved in these pathways. Human frataxin is shown to bind from six t seven iron ion. It is expressed in the heart, peripheral blood lymphocytes, and dermal fibroblasts. It is predominantly monomeric, but oligomeric forms are also present. It may play a role in the protection against iron-catalyzed oxidative stress through its ability to catalyze the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+. The oligomeric form is reported to possess in vitro ferroxidase activity. As an iron chaperone protein, it is reported to protect mitochondrial aconitase [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster from disassembly and promote enzyme reactivation. Frataxin is synthesized with a transit peptide (aa 1-41) and it is processed in two steps by mitochondrial processing peptidase, which first cleaves the precursor to intermediate form (aa 42-210) and subsequently converts the intermediate to yield frataxin mature form (aa 81-210). The additional forms of frataxin (aa 56-210 and 78-210) are observed when the normal maturation process is impaired. Mature frataxin is a compact, globular protein containing an N-terminal helix, a middle β sheet region composed of seven strands, a second helix, and a C-terminal coil. The helices are folded upon the β sheet, with the C-terminal coil filling a groove between the two helices. Mutations in FXN gene are known to cause Friedreich ataxia, a progressive disease characterized by neurodegeneration and cardiomyopathy. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clone 2F3 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Frataxin. It targets an epitope within 15 amino acids from the internal region.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Preparation Note

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
