This antibody does not cross-react with CDNF. The specificity of this antibody was further verified by MANF specific knockout. MANF signal was not detected in MANF knockout HEK293T cells as compared to that in control wild type cells.
Purification
MANF Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Grade
KO Validated
Immunogen
MANF antibody was raised against a 12 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human MANF. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of MANF.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human, mouse and rat samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples, Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

MANF Antibody: MANF, also known as ARMET, was initially identified as a protein containing an arginine-rich region that was highly mutated in a variety of tumors. More recently it was identified as a mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor with selectivity for dopaminergic neurons, similar to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and CDNF. In rat brain slices, MANF enhanced nigral gamma-aminobutyric acid release. Like GDNF and CDNF, MANF has selective neuroprotective activity for dopaminergic neurons suggesting that it may be indicated for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Expression of MANF has also been shown to be induced during ER stress, suggesting that it may play a role in protein quality control during ER stress.
