General description
Melan-A is also known as MART-1 (melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells 1). It is a transmembrane protein which is hydrophobic in nature. Melan-A is expressed in melanocytes and melanoma tumors.
Monoclonal Anti-Melan-A (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma A103 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (SP2/0 cells) and splenocytes from mice immunized with a human recombinant Melan-A protein. Melan-A (also known as MART1) is a melanoma antigen recognized by T cells. The protein is expressed mainly in cells and tumors of melanocytic lineage and thus belongs to the melanocyte differentiation markers.
Immunogen
recombinant human Melan-A protein.
Application
Anti-Melan-A antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:
- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- immunoblotting
- immunocytochemistry
- immunoprecipitation
- immunohistochemistry
Biochem/physiol Actions
Melan-A/MART1 may have a role in pigmentation since its expression pattern and sub cellular distribution is similar to other melanosomal proteins and correlates with melanin content. Melan-A is important for Pmel17 activity, forms a complex with it, and affects its expression, stability, trafficking, and processing that is required for melanosome structure and maturation. Thus, Melan-A is important for Pmel17 function and therefore it is important for mammalian pigmentation.
Target description
Melan-A is a melanoma antigen recognized by T cells.

Angiomyolipomas are tumours of uncertain histogenesis, most often occurring in association with the kidney. A characteristic finding is their reactivity with HMB-45, a monoclonal antibody to the melanocyte-associated antigen gp-100. We tested 18 angiomyolipomas for their reactivity with A103, a

Rationale: Tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) play a critical role in the suppressive immune tumor microenvironment (TME), compromising the efficacy of immunotherapy. To overcome this therapeutic hurdle, we developed a nanoemulsion (NE) formulation to deliver fraxinellone (Frax), an anti-fibrotic medicine, to TAFs
