General description

Megakaryoblastic Leukemia-1 (MKL1, MAL, MRTF-A, BSAC) is a MRTF family transcription factor with evolutionary conserved domains required for actin-binding, homo- and heterodimerization, high-order chromatin organization and transcriptional activation. MKL1 regulates a wide range of cell processes including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT); megakaryocytic differentiation and migration; neuronal network remodeling; cellular motile functions and muscle cell differentiation including cardiovascular development. It is a component of the Rho/megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) signaling pathway.

Specificity

Anti-MKL1 polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, chicken, mouse, human, and rat megakaryoblastic leukemia-1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal of human MKL1

Application

Anti-MKL1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag megakaryoblastic leukemia-1 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of megakaryoblastic leukemia-1 in the Rho/megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) signaling pathway and a variety of cell processes such as cell mobilization and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Biochem/physiol Actions

MKL1 transduces cytoskeletal signals and induces smooth muscle cell differentiation from undifferentiated embryonic stem cells

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: QPLSQPGFPAPGPPAQMDLEHPPQPPFATPTSLLKKEPPGYEETVTQQPK

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Gradual occlusion of coronary arteries may result in reversible loss of cardiomyocyte function (hibernating myocardium), which is amenable to therapeutic neovascularization. The role of myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) co-activating serum response factor (SRF) in this process is largely unknown. Here

Myopalladin (MYPN) is a striated muscle-specific immunoglobulin domain-containing protein located in the sarcomeric Z-line and I-band. MYPN gene mutations are causative for dilated (DCM), hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. In a yeast two-hybrid screening, MYPN was found to bind to titin

Estrogen receptor (ERα) is central in driving the development of hormone-dependent breast cancers. A major challenge in treating these cancers is to understand and overcome endocrine resistance. The Megakaryoblastic Leukemia 1 (MKL1, MRTFA) protein is a master regulator of actin

The mechanisms underlying the cell response to mechanical forces are crucial for muscle development and functionality. We aim to determine whether mutations of the LMNA gene (which encodes lamin A/C) causing congenital muscular dystrophy impair the ability of muscle precursors
