Anti-MTFMT antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 389 amino acid residues and a mass of 43.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the Fmt protein family, MTFMT is reported to be a Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase that formylates methionyl-tRNA in mitochondria and is crucial for translation initiation. The MTFMT gene has been associated with the disease, Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency. Synonyms for this target antigen include methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase, mitochondrial. MTFMT 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 MTFMT antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
