Anti-MTURN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein maturin, neural progenitor differentiation regulator homolog. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 131 amino acid residues and a mass of 14.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the cerebellum and colon. A member of the MTURN protein family, MTURN is reported to promote megakaryocyte differentiation by enhancing ERK and JNK signaling as well as up-regulating RUNX1 and FLI1 expression. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include UPF0452 protein C7orf41, maturin neural progenitor differentiation regulator protein homolog, protein Ells1, and maturin. MTURN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some MTURN antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
