Descrizione

General description

Melan-A is a melanoma antigen recognized by T cells.

Melan-A is also known as MART-1 (melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells 1). It is a transmembrane protein which is hydrophobic in nature. Melan-A is expressed in melanocytes and melanoma tumors.[1]

Monoclonal Anti-Melan-A (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma A103 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (SP2/0 cells) and splenocytes from mice immunized with a human recombinant Melan-A protein. Melan-A (also known as MART1) is a melanoma antigen recognized by T cells. The protein is expressed mainly in cells and tumors of melanocytic lineage and thus belongs to the melanocyte differentiation markers.

Immunogen

recombinant human Melan-A protein.

Application

Anti-Melan-A antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:

• enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
• immunoblotting
• immunocytochemistry
• immunoprecipitation
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Melan-A/MART1 may have a role in pigmentation since its expression pattern and sub cellular distribution is similar to other melanosomal proteins and correlates with melanin content. Melan-A is important for Pmel17 activity, forms a complex with it, and affects its expression, stability, trafficking, and processing that is required for melanosome structure and maturation. Thus, Melan-A is important for Pmel17 function and therefore it is important for mammalian pigmentation.

Physical form
