    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #27748. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #27748

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Mucolipin-1 (F8F9Q) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total mucolipin-1 protein. This antibody detects the carboxyl terminal fragment produced following posttranslational cleavage.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human mucolipin-1 protein.

    Background

    Mucolipin-1 (MCOLN1, TRPML1), a member of the transient receptor potential ion channel superfamily, is a lysosomal/late endosome Ca2+ efflux channel that is important in lysosomal biogenesis (1,2). Mutations in the mucolipin-1 gene are responsible for the human lysosomal storage disease mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease (3). Mucolipin-1 is synthesized as a 580-amino acid protein with six transmembrane domains but can undergo cleavage in the long luminal loop between the first two transmembrane domains (4,5). Mucolipin-1 activity has been linked to autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis. Calcium influx through mucolipin-1 activates CaMKKβ and AMPK, which activate the autophagy kinase ULK1 (6). Calcium influx is also associated with activation of the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin which can trigger activation of TFEB, a key transcription factor regulating autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis (7,8). Mucolipin-1 activity is upregulated by cellular stress, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) (7). Phosphorylation of mucolipin-1 by mTOR results in reduced channel activity and autophagic flux (9). Loss of mucolipin-1 or pharmacological inhibition suppresses autophagy and can reduce tumor growth and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer and triple-negative breast cancer, suggesting the use of mucolipin-1 antagonists for cancer therapy (10-12).
