BDMF, DMSFH, DMSMFH, Epididymis luminal protein 249, HEL249, LGMBF, MeSAdo phosphorylase, Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, MSAP, MTA phosphorylase, MTAPase, S-methyl-5-thioadenosine phosphorylase
Recognizes a protein of 31kDa, which is identified as MTAP (5-deoxy-5-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase). It catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of methylthioadenosine, which is important in polyamine metabolism and for the salvage of adenine and methionine. The gene encoding MTAP is linked to the tumor suppressor gene, p16INK4A. Deficient levels of MTAP can occur in cancers primarily throµgh co-deletion of the MTAP gene and the p16INK4A gene. Cells expressing MTAP and possessing adenine salvage pathway activity may be less susceptible to malignancy due to growth-inhibitory actions of agents (e.g. antifolates), whose mechanism of action, in part, involves this de novo purine pathway.
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT),(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0 for 45 min at 95&degC followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes),
