Mouse anti-Human Ferritin, Light Chain Antibody | anti-FTL antibody

Ferritin, Light Chain (Node-Negative Breast Tumor Prognostic Marker)

Cat. Num. AAA4380920

• Gene Names: FTL; LFTD; NBIA3
• Reactivity: Human
• Applications: Immunohistochemistry
• Purity: Purified Ab with BSA and Azide at 200ug/ml OR Purified Ab WITHOUT BSA and Azide at 1.0mg/ml
• Synonyms: Ferritin; Light Chain; Light Chain (Node-Negative Breast Tumor Prognostic Marker); Ferritin L chain; Ferritin L subunit; Ferritin light chain; Ferritin light polypeptide; FTL; LFTD; NBIA3; anti-FTL antibody

• Host: Mouse
• Reactivity: Human
• Isotype: IgG1, kappa
• Clone Number: rFTL/1388
• Specificity: Mammalian ferritins consist of 24 subunits made up of 2 types of polypeptide chains, ferritin heavy chain and ferritin light chain. Ferritin heavy chains catalyze the first step in iron storage, the oxidation of Fe (II), whereas ferritin light chains promote the nucleation of ferrihydrite, enabling storage of Fe (III). Light chain ferritin is involved in cataracts by at least two mechanisms, hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome, in which light chain ferritin is overexpressed, and oxidative stress, an important factor in the development of ageing-related cataracts.
• Purity/Purification: Purified Ab with BSA and Azide at 200ug/ml OR Purified Ab WITHOUT BSA and Azide at 1.0mg/ml
• Form/Format: 200ug/ml of Ab Purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G. Prepared in 10mM PBS with 0.05% BSA & 0.05% azide. Also available WITHOUT BSA & azide at 1.0mg/ml.
• Sequence Length: 175

• Applicable Applications for anti-FTL antibody: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin
• Application Notes: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (0.1-0.2ug/ml for 30 min at RT) (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes)
• Positive Control: HepG2, HeLa, HL-60 or 293T cells. Pancreas, Liver, Cerebellum or Testis.
• Immunogen: Recombinant fragment (around aa 38-165) of human FTL protein (exact sequence is proprietary)
• Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Hu-chromosome Location: 19q13.33
• Antibody Type: Recombinant Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
• Preparation and Storage: Antibody with azide: store at 2 to 8 degree C.; Antibody without azide: store at -20 to -80 degree C.; Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes the light subunit of the ferritin protein. Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in this light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome. This gene has multiple pseudogenes.

Uniprot Description

FTL: Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney. Defects in FTL are the cause of hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS). It is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by early-onset bilateral cataract. Affected patients have elevated level of circulating ferritin. HHCS is caused by mutations in the iron responsive element (IRE) of the FTL gene. Defects in FTL are the cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 3 (NBIA3); also known as adult-onset basal ganglia disease. It is a movement disorder with heterogeneous presentations starting in the fourth to sixth decade. It is characterized by a variety of neurological signs including parkinsonism, ataxia, corticospinal signs, mild nonprogressive cognitive deficit and episodic psychosis. It is linked with decreased serum ferritin levels. Belongs to the ferritin family.
