Anti-MDGA1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 955 amino acid residues and a mass of 105.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the rectum, duodenum, colon, cerebellum, and appendix. MDGA1 is known to be required for radial migration of cortical neurons in the superficial layer of the neocortex (By similarity). Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include GPI and MAM protein, MAM domain-containing protein 3, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-MAM, and MAM domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor protein 1. MDGA1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the Mdga1 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
