Anti-MLANA Antibody

MLANA, also known as Melan-A or MART-1, is a transmembrane protein associated with melanosome biogenesis that serves as a melanocyte differentiation marker and is widely studied in melanoma biology. This Antibodies.com primary antibody is raised in rabbit, affinity-purified from polyclonal sera, and supplied in an unconjugated format so laboratories can pair it with their preferred HRP, fluorescent, or biotin-streptavidin detection chemistry.

Validated for western blot and immunofluorescence, the reagent has been tested for reactivity against human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting both melanoma cell line studies and translational tumor model work in rodents. Because polyclonal reagents recognize multiple epitopes on the target protein, the antibody can produce strong signals on denatured western blot lysates and consistent staining of melanocyte or melanoma cells in immunofluorescence imaging, including across different fixation protocols.

The antibody is supplied as 100 µl of stock. Aliquot upon first thaw and store refrigerated in working volumes to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve binding activity over time. This reagent from Antibodies.com is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical diagnostic applications.
