    Human, Mouse

    The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

    Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

    Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro42 of human MAFB protein.

    Background

    MAFB belongs to the musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (MAF) family of basic leucine-zipper transcription factors (1). In mouse embryo, MAFB expression is first detected at E10.5 (2,3). Early in development, MAFB drives differentiation of both glucagon-producing α-cells and insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas, but later plays a more decisive role in the maturation and maintenance of functional α-cells (4,5). Consistent with MAFB playing a critical role in mature α-cells, MAFB is enriched in α-cells within two weeks of birth in the pancreas (6). Glucagon and insulin secretion is tightly regulated, and imbalances in these hormones contribute to metabolic conditions. Therefore, understanding the role of MAFB in α-cell development, maintenance, and physiological function may contribute to developing deeper insights into how these cells contribute to metabolic diseases like diabetes. MAFB also regulates monocyte differentiation, indicating MAFB functions beyond the pancreas (7).
