Western blot analysis of MAFA using anti-MAFAantibody (RP1066).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human HEK293 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human K562 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human 22RV1 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: rat PC-12 whole cell lysates,
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-MAFA antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # RP1066) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for MAFA at approximately 37KD. The expected band size for MAFA is at 37KD.

Background of MAFA
MAFA is a transcription factor that binds RIPE3b, a conserved enhancer element that regulates pancreatic beta cell-specific expression of the insulin gene. MAFA plays a key role in coordinating and controlling the level of insulin gene expression in islet beta cells. It is located in 8q24.3. The intracellular domain of MAFA contains a single immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), which classifies MAFA as a member of an inhibitory receptor superfamily. The inhibitory capacity of MAFA is best defined in mast cells, where MAFA keeps in check the antigen-induced (i.e. Fc epsilon RI-induced) secretion ofinflammatory mediators.

Antibody Homology Across Species
The results generated by this homology analysis tool for commonly used animal species are shown below. For unlisted species, please refer to the homology analysis between the immunogen sequence and the corresponding species.
A homology of ≥90% is recommended. Generally, higher homology indicates a greater potential for cross-species reactivity. However, protein expression levels may vary among different species, tissues, and cell types. Therefore, the homology analysis results are for reference only and do not guarantee antibody cross-reactivity or experimental performance.
