ANTI-MNK

Anti-ATP7A antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.

Copper-transporting ATPase 1 is a protein encoded by the ATP7A gene in humans. It mediates systemic copper absorption and provides cupro-enzymes in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) with copper. It constitutively cycles between the TGN and plasma membrane (PM) for regulating the metal homeostasis. Mutation in this gene causes Menkes disease, a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by multi-systemic disorder of copper deficiency. This disease is caused due to a novel "silent" substitution in the ATP7A gene.
