Learn more about how we get our images.Immunoprecipitation of MAFB from SK-N-MC cell extracts. Lane 1 is 10% input, lane 2 is Normal Rabbit IgG #2729, and lane 3 is MAFB Antibody. Western blot analysis was performed using MAFB Antibody.
Learn more about how we get our images.For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
NOTE: Please refer to primary antibody datasheet or product webpage for recommended antibody dilution.
From sample preparation to detection, the reagents you need for your Western Blot are now in one convenient kit: #12957 Western Blotting Application Solutions Kit
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
Load 20 µl onto SDS-PAGE gel (10 cm x 10 cm).
NOTE: Loading of prestained molecular weight markers (#13953, 5 µl/lane) to verify electrotransfer and biotinylated protein ladder (#7727, 10 µl/lane) to determine molecular weights are recommended.
NOTE: Volumes are for 10 cm x 10 cm (100 cm2) of membrane; for different sized membranes, adjust volumes accordingly.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

Protocol Id: 10
This protocol is intended for immunoprecipitation of native proteins utilizing Protein A agarose beads for analysis by western immunoblot or kinase activity.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
10X Cell Lysis Buffer: (#9803) To prepare 10 ml of 1X cell lysis buffer, add 1 ml cell lysis buffer to 9 ml dH2O, mix.
NOTE: Add 1 mM PMSF (#8553) immediately prior to use.
Proceed to one of the following specific set of steps.
NOTE: To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG heavy chains (~50 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Light-Chain Specific) (L57A3) mAb (#3677) or Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127). To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG light chains (~25 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127).

MAFB Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total MAFB protein. Based on sequence similarity, this antibody is not predicted to cross-react with MAFA.
Human
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding of human Pro188 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
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 2 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).
