Description | Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Transcription factor MafA(MAFA) detection. Tested with WB in Human;Rat. Background: MAFA is a transcription factor that binds RIPE3b, a conserved enhancer element that regulates pancreatic beta cell-specific expression of the insulin gene. MAFA plays a key role in coordinating and controlling the level of insulin gene expression in islet beta cells. It is located in 8q24.3. The intracellular domain of MAFA contains a single immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), which classifies MAFA as a member of an inhibitory receptor superfamily. The inhibitory capacity of MAFA is best defined in mast cells, where MAFA keeps in check the antigen-induced (i.e. Fc epsilon RI-induced) secretio |
Immunogen | Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human MAFA(136-167aa EDAVEALIGSGHHGAHHGAHHPAAAAAYEAFR), identical to the related mouse sequence. Ig Type: Rabbit IgG |
