General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-03351) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human ATP5A1, targeting the amino acid region 203–553 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human ATP5A1 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. The ATP5A1 gene encodes the α subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase which produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane. The mitochondrial ATP synthase, also known as Complex V or F1F0 ATP synthase, is a multi-subunit enzyme complex consisting of two functional domains, the F1-containing the catalytic core and the Fo-containing the membrane proton channel. F0 domain has 10 subunits: a,b, c, d, e, f, g, OSCP, A6L, and F6. F1 is composed of subunits α, β, γ, δ, ε, and a loosely attached inhibitor protein IF1. Recently defect in ATP5A1 has been linked to the fatal neonatal mitochondrial encephalopathy. ATP5A1 is localized in the mitochondria and anti-ATP5A1 can be used as the loading control for mitochondrial or Complex V proteins. The predicted MW of ATP5A1 is 60 kDa, while it undergoes the transit peptide cleavage to become a mature form around 50-55 kDa. Several isoforms of ATP5A1 exist due to the alternative splicing.
DPABH-03351 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:5,000–1:50,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate), IHC (1:500–1:2,000), IF/ICC (1:400–1:1,600), flow cytometry (FC) (0.25 μg per 10^6 cells in a 100 μl suspension) applications.
DPABH-03351 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
