Gene Information

human ... TUFM(7284)

General description

The gene TUFM (Elongation factor Tu - mitochondrial) is mapped to human chromosome 16p11.2. The protein localizes in the mitochondria.

Immunogen

Elongation factor Tu, mitochondrial precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-TUFM antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige. In addition, the antibody has been used for co-immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TUFM (Elongation factor Tu - mitochondrial) is a GTPase. It forms a ternary complex with GTP (Guanosine-5′-triphosphate) and aminoacylated (aa)-tRNA and causes binding of the aa-tRNA to the A-site of the ribosome. Mutations in TUFM cause infantile encephalopathy and defective mitochondrial DNA translation.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The mitochondrial protein MAVS (also known as IPS-1, VISA, and CARDIF) interacts with RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) to induce type I interferon (IFN-I). NLRX1 is a mitochondrial nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeats (NLR)-containing protein that attenuates MAVS-RLR signaling. Using Nlrx1(-/-) cells, we confirmed

Mitophagy is a form of autophagy that selectively removes damaged mitochondria. Impaired mitochondria can be tagged by the kinase PINK1, which triggers recruitment of the E3-ubiquitin ligase Parkin and subsequent mitochondrial sequestration within autophagosomes. We previously found that human parainfluenza

The mitochondrial translational machinery allows the genes encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to be translated in situ. Mitochondrial translation requires a number of nucleus-encoded protein factors, some of which have been found to carry mutations in patients affected by mitochondrial
