Anti-ETFA antibody produced in rabbit，100UL，HPA018993-100UL，Sigma

General description

The gene electron transfer flavoprotein subunit α (ETFA) is mapped to human chromosome 15q23. The protein localizes in the mitochondria.

Immunogen

Electron transfer flavoprotein subunit alpha, mitochondrial precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ETFA 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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ETFA (electron transfer flavoprotein subunit α) is a subunit of electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF). ETF is responsible for transfer of electrons from primary flavoprotein dehydrogenases participating in mitochondrial fatty acid and amino acid catabolism to the membrane-associated electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Mutations in ETFA results in blockage of the electron transfer from acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. This results in accumulation of various acyl-esters in blood and urine, causing multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency (MADD).

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.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
