NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
MAIT (mucosal-associated invariant T-cells) lymphocytes represent a small population of T-cells primarily found in the gut. The protein encoded by this gene is an antigen-presenting molecule that presents metabolites of microbial vitamin B to MAITs. This presentation may activate the MAITs to regulate the amounts of specific types of bacteria in the gut. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and a pseudogene of it has been detected about 36 kbp upstream on the same chromosome.

Uniprot Description
MR1: Has antigen presentation function. Involved in the development and expansion of a small population of T-cells expressing an invariant T-cell receptor alpha chain called mucosal-associated invariant T-cells (MAIT). MAIT cells are preferentially located in the gut lamina propria and therefore may be involved in monitoring commensal flora or serve as a distress signal. Expression and MAIT cell recognition seem to be ligand- dependent. Belongs to the MHC class I family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, integral
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q25.3
Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane; endoplasmic reticulum; extracellular region; integral to membrane; plasma membrane; MHC class I protein complex
Molecular Function: MHC class I receptor activity; peptide antigen binding; antigen binding
Biological Process: antigen processing and presentation; antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class I; positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity; interleukin-17 production; interleukin-1 beta production; innate immune response; immune response; cytokine production during immune response; signal transduction; defense response to Gram-negative bacterium

Product Notes
The MR1 mr1 (Catalog #AAA3221038) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MR1 Antibody - N-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MR1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MR1 mr1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: RTHSLRYFRL GVSDPIHGVP EFISVGYVDS HPITTYDSVT RQKEPRAPWM. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MR1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
