Background of Mitofusin 2

Mitofusin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFN2 gene. It is mapped to chromosome 1 and encodes a 757-amino acid protein that contains an ATP/GTP-binding site motif. This gene is expressed in many tissues and cell lines such as brain and KG-1 with the highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle. It has been found that MFN2 triggers mitochondrial energization, at least in part, by regulating OXPHOS expression through signals that are independent of its role as a mitochondrial fusion protein. And it contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. Axonal CMT type 2A and autosomal dominant HMSN VI are caused by MFN2 and mutations in MFN2, which emphasizes its important role of mitochondrial function for both optic atrophies and peripheral neuropathies.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Mitofusin-2 using anti-Mitofusin-2 antibody (PB9265).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours.
Lane 1: Recombinant Human Mitofusin-2 Protein 0.5ng.
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-Mitofusin-2 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9265) 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 1:10000 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 Mitofusin-2 at approximately 45KD. The expected band size for Mitofusin-2 is at 45KD.
