![NSJ Bio/MTF1 Antibody / Metal regulatory transcription factor 1 [clone MTF1/2649] (V7966)/100 ug/V7966SAF-100UG](https://www.ebiomall.cn/images/NSJ/img-V7966-100UG-1.jpg)
The metal-responsive element (MRE)-binding transcription factor (MTF-1) stimulates the expression of metallothioneins in response to the exposure of cells to heavy metals. MTF-1 contains six zinc fingers in the DNA binding domain. The phosphorylation of MTF-1 in response to metal exposure appears to play a significant role in the ability of MTF-1 to activate metallothionein transcription. In addition to its role in metallothionein activation, MTF-1 is involved in a post-transcription regulatory complex for ribosomal protein S25. MTF-1, La and p53 inhibit the nuclear export of S25 mRNA in response to nutrient depravation. Furthermore, MTF-1 acts as a chromatin insulator on integrated transgenes in cultured cells to insulate active loci against chromatin silencing.
Optimal dilution of the MTF1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant full-length human protein was used as the immunogen for the MTF1 antibody.
Store the MTF1 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
