Description
MTHFD1 Antibody (A-8) is a high quality monoclonal MTHFD1 antibody (also designated MTHFD1 antibody) suitable for the detection of the MTHFD1 protein of human origin. MTHFD1 Antibody (A-8) is available as both the non-conjugated anti-MTHFD1 antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-MTHFD1 antibody, including agarose, HRP, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1) is a 935-amino acid, folate-dependent protein that is responsible for the consecutive interconversion of tetrahydrofolate derivatives which drive the synthesis of purine, methionine, and thymidylate. The cytosolic MRHFD1 contains three subunits, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, and 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, each with distinct activities. MTHFD1 functions as a homodimer consisting of two major domains, an N-terminal containing the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities and a larger synthetase domain in the C-terminus. Mutations in the MTHFD1 gene in pregnant women are associated with an increased risk of giving birth to a child with a neural tube defect, along with a possible risk of decreased embryo survival. MTHFD1 also plays a role in migraine development, since folate metabolism is involved in migraine pathophysiology, mainly in migraine with aura.

Detect and measure plasma concentration of MTHFD1
This MTHFD1L antibody test kit performs very well for ELISA and western blots on rat plasma following exosome extraction. When we applied on human serum samples, we found the results less satisfactory but suspect that the exosome isolation might be less optimized which resulted in a suboptimal result. Overall, this is quite a good antibody for MTHFD1L detection.
