Western Blot (WB)

(Western Blot analysis in K562 cell line and mouse liver tissue lysates (35ug/lane) usingMBS6012804. This demonstrates that MBS6012804 detected the ETFA protein (arrow).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Immunohistochemistry analysis in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded human skeletal muscle using MBS6012804 followed by peroxidase conjugation of the secondary antibody and DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of MBS6012804 for immunohistochemistry.)

Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)

(Flow Cytometric analysis of Ramos cells using MBS6012804 (right histogram) compared to a negative control cell (left histogram). FITC-conjugated goat-anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were used for the analysis.)

NCBI Description

ETFA participates in catalyzing the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. It shuttles electrons between primary flavoprotein dehydrogenases and the membrane-bound electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Defects in electron-transfer-flavoprotein have been implicated in type II glutaricaciduria in which multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies result in large excretion of glutaric, lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

ETFA: The electron transfer flavoprotein serves as a specific electron acceptor for several dehydrogenases, including five acyl- CoA dehydrogenases, glutaryl-CoA and sarcosine dehydrogenase. It transfers the electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase). Defects in ETFA are the cause of glutaric aciduria type 2A (GA2A); also known as glutaricaciduria IIA. GA2A is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder of fatty acid, amino acid, and choline metabolism. It is characterized by multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies resulting in large excretion not only of glutaric acid, but also of lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids. Belongs to the ETF alpha-subunit/FixB family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
