Product Information

Product Usage Information

For optimal ChIP results, use 5 μl of antibody and 10 μg of chromatin (approximately 4 x 106 cells) per IP. This antibody has been validated using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits.

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation 1:100
Chromatin IP 1:100

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

MLX (D8G6W) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total MLX protein. This antibody detects all known isoforms of MLX, including MLX alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val286 of human MLX protein.

Background

Max-like protein X (MLX), also known as transcription factor-like protein 4 (TCFL4), is a member of the Myc/Max/Mad network of transcriptional regulator proteins that share a common basic-helix-loop-helix zipper (bHLH-ZIP) motif required for dimerization and DNA-binding (1,2). MLX is ubiquitously expressed in most cell lines and functions as a binding partner for MLXIP (also known as MondoA) and MLXIPL (also known as ChREBP) (1,2). MLX/MLXIP and MLX/MLXIPL heterodimers function to regulate glucose homeostasis by sensing glucose metabolites in the cell. These heterodimeric protein complexes reside mainly in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of cells grown in low glucose, and translocate to the nucleus upon increased intracellular glucose levels to activate transcription of downstream target genes (1,2). MLX/MLXIP is required for the deregulated Myc-induced reprogramming of multiple metabolic pathways during oncogenesis (3).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: 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.

MLX (D8G6W) Rabbit mAb

Western Blotting Image 1: MLX (D8G6W) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from MLX wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) and various cell lysates using MLX (D8G6W) Rabbit mAb (upper) and GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbbit mAb #5174 (lower). MLX WT and KO MEF were kindly provided by Dr. Robert Eisenman at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Image 1: MLX (D8G6W) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from MEF MLX wild-type (left) and MLX knock-out (right) cells and MLX (D8G6W) Rabbit mAb or Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. The enriched DNA was quantified by real-time PCR using mouse TOM20 promoter primers, SimpleChIP® Mouse TXNIP Promoter Primers #95288, and SimpleChIP® Mouse Ccdc57 Intron 5 Primers #53559. The amount of immunoprecipitated DNA in each sample is represented as signal relative to the total amount of input chromatin, which is equivalent to one.
