Rabbit Anti-MFHA1/Malignant fibrous histiocytoma antibody
Identified in a human 8p amplicon, this gene is a potential oncogene whose expression is enhanced in some malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFH). The primary structure of its product includes an ATP/GTP-binding site, three leucine zipper domains, and a leucine-rich tandem repeat, which are structural or functional elements for interactions among proteins related to the cell cycle, and which suggest that overexpression might be oncogenic with respect to MFH.

Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed. Overexpressed in malignant fibrous histiocytomas.
DISEASE:
A chromosomal aberration involving MFHAS1 may be a cause of B-cell lymphoma. Translocation t(8;14)(p23.1;q21) with a cryptic exon named '14q21 element'. The resulting fusion protein named 'chimeric MASL1' is tumorigenic in nude mice.
Similarity:
Contains 13 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.
Contains 1 Roc domain.
