Anti-mitoguardin 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the MIGA1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 632 amino acid residues and a mass of 71 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Mitoguardin protein family, it is a reported regulator of mitochondrial fusion: acts by forming homo- and heterodimers at the mitochondrial outer membrane and facilitating the formation of PLD6/MitoPLD dimers. Other names for this target antigen include family with sequence similarity 73, member A and protein FAM73A. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the mitoguardin 1 antibodies listed below. Immunocytochemistry and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
