Transcription factor MafA Antibodies
AND Mafa ELISA kits, Transcription factor MafA Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Transcription factor MafA, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Transcription factor MafA in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Transcription factor MafA antibodies...
Designing a Western blot for Transcription factor MafA? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

Mafa Overview
Facts about Transcription factor MafA.
Transcription factor MafA (Mafa)
Transcription factor that activates insulin gene expression (PubMed:15665000). Acts synergistically with NEUROD1/BETA2 and PDX1 (By similarity).
Binds the insulin enhancer C1/RIPE3b element (PubMed:15665000). Binds to consensus TRE-type MARE 5'-TGCTGACTCAGCA-3' DNA sequence (By similarity).
