Monoclonal Anti-MALT1 (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 31E produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from the immunized BALB/c mice. The gene for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is located on human chromosome 18q21 and encodes for a human paracaspase. It is characterized by a death domain in its amino terminus, two immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, and a p20-caspase-like domain in its carboxyl terminus.
Specificity
Monoclonal Anti-MALT1 recognizes human, monkey and rat MALT1
Immunogen
fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with human MALT1
Application
Anti-MALT1 antibody ,Mouse monoclonal is suitable for immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) acts as an important regulator of adaptive immune responses in vivo and is essential for functional T-cell activation, proliferation and cytokine production. The activation of MALT1 is physiologically mediated by B cell lymphoma 10 (BCL10), which forms a complex with MALT1, promoting the oligomerization and activation of the caspase-like domain. In vivo and in vitro studies suggest that the MALT1-BCL10 complex mediates nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation in response to surface antigen receptor activation in both B and T cells. The most common is the translocation t(11;18)(q21;q21) which results in a fusion of the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP2) region on chromosome 11q21 with the MALT1 gene and is present in more than one-third of cases.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing,or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discardedif not used within 12 hours.

At least two distinct recurrent chromosomal translocations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of MALT lymphoma. The first, t(1;14), results in the transfer of the entire Bcl10 gene to chromosome 14 wherein Bcl10 expression is inappropriately stimulated by the neighboring

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the most common extranodal lymphoid cell neoplasia; it frequently follows chronic bacteria-induced inflammation in various tissues. MALT lymphomas are characterized genetically by the t(11;18)(q21;q21) translocation, which yields chimeric transcripts encoding structurally distinct API2/MALT1 fusion

The paracaspase domain of MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1) is a component of a gene translocation fused to the N-terminal domains of the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2. The paracaspase itself, commonly known as MALT1, participates

Recent progress in molecular analysis of low-grade B cell lymphoma has revealed that API2 at 11q21 and a novel gene, MALT1 at 18q21, are involved in t(11;18)(q21;q21), a characteristic chromosome aberration for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type lymphoma. We describe
