Anti-MYT1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein myelin transcription factor 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1121 amino acid residues and a mass of 122.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the MYT1 protein family, Myt1 is known to bind to the promoter region of genes encoding proteolipid proteins of the central nervous system. Myt1 is also used as a cellular marker for characterizing oligodendrocytes. Synonyms for this target antigen include MTF1, MYTI, NZF2, PLPB1, ZC2H2C1, ZC2HC4A, myelin transcription factor I, and C20orf36. MYT1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Myt1 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
