MBNL1 Antibody (3A4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects MBNL1 protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. anti-MBNL1 antibody (3A4) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. MBNL1, consisting of 370 amino acids, plays a crucial role in regulating pre-mRNA splicing, a vital process for gene expression. MBNL1 is predominantly expressed in tissues such as skeletal muscle, prostate, lung, heart, small intestine, ovary, and placenta. MBNL1, along with homologs MBNL2 and MBNL3, modulates specific exons in pre-mRNAs by counteracting the activity of CUG-BP and ETR-3-like factors, which bind to distinct intronic sites. This regulation is particularly important in myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2, where MBNL1 and MBNL2 localize to nuclear foci associated with expanded CUG repeats, suggesting that accumulation of mutant RNA in the nucleus contributes to the pathogenesis of these disorders. MBNL1′s interaction with RNA elements highlights its significance in maintaining proper cellular function and gene expression, making MBNL1 (3A4) monoclonal antibody an essential tool for researchers studying splicing mechanisms and related diseases.
