Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (60%), Rat (60%).
This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-54270. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Sideroflexin 4 (SFXN4) is a gene primarily associated with mitochondrial functionality and disease. It encodes a protein that is crucial for the assembly of complex I within mitochondria, a critical component of the electron transport chain. Mutations in SFXN4 can result in mitochondrial diseases due to its pivotal role in this process. Interestingly, SFXN4 belongs to the sideroflexin family, traditionally known for amino acid transport, indicating a functional evolution to support mitochondrial assembly. In the context of cancer, specifically ovarian cancer, SFXN4 is involved in the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters (Fe-S), which are essential for cell growth and division. Inhibition of SFXN4 disrupts Fe-S biogenesis, highlighting its potential as a target for anti-cancer therapy. Additionally, SFXN4's expression and function have been correlated with immune pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma, suggesting broader implications in cancer biology. Knockdown studies and natural mutations demonstrate SFXN4's role in mitochondrial diseases, including macrocytic anemia observed in zebrafish models and implications in human mitochondriopathy.
