Anti-MELTF antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein melanotransferrin. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 738 amino acid residues and a mass of 80.2 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 salivary gland, nasopharynx, fallopian tube, colon, and bronchus. A member of the Transferrin protein family, MELTF is known to be involved in iron cellular uptake. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include MAP97, MFI2, MTF1, MTf, antigen p97 (melanoma associated) identified by monoclonal antibodies 133.2 and 96.5, and CD228. MELTF gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of MELTF antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
