Product Specific Information
PA1-25994 detects MAFA from mouse samples.

PA1-25994 has been successfully used in chromatin immunoprecipitation, immunoelectrophoresis, immunohistochemistry (frozen, paraffin), and Western blot procedures.

The PA1-25994 immunogen is a synthetic peptide, corresponding to the C-terminal domain of mouse v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A.
General Information
Insulin gene expression is regulated by several islet-enriched transcription factors. However, MafA is the only beta cell-specific activator. MafA selectively induces endogenous insulin transcription in non-beta cells. MafA was also first detected in the insulin-producing cells formed during the second and prodominant phase of beta cell differentiation, and absent in the few insulin-positive cells found in Nkx6.1 (-/-) pancreata, which lack the majority of second-phase beta cells. These results demonstrate that MafA is a potent insulin activator that is likely to function downstream of Nkx6.1 during islet insulin-producing cell development.
