General description

Melanoma-associated antigen recognized by T cells-1 (MART-1) (also known as Melan-A) is a melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It is a transmembrane protein which is hydrophobic in nature. Six other melanoma associated antigens recognized by autologous cytotoxic T cells include MAGE-1, Tyrosinase, gp100, gp75, BAGE-1, and GAGE-1. Subcellular fractionation shows that MART-1 is present in melanosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. The protein is also expressed in melanoma tumors. Human MART-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Melanoma-associated antigen recognized by T cells-1 (MART-1) has been shown to be essential for the functioning of glycoprotein-100 (gp100).

Physical form

Lyophilized without additives.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitute in water to a concentration 0.1-1 mg/mL. The solution can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
