AFfirm™ YTHDF1 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody - #BF8052

Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing mRNAs, and promotes mRNA translation efficiency. M6A is a modification present at internal sites of mRNAs and some non-coding RNAs and plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and stability. Acts as a regulator of mRNA translation efficiency: promotes ribosome loading to m6A-containing mRNAs and interacts with translation initiation factors eIF3 (EIF3A or EIF3B) to facilitate translation initiation. Required to facilitate learning and memory formation in the hippocampus by enhancing protein synthesis upon neuronal stimulation: in response to neuronal stimulation, binds to m6A-containing neuronal mRNAs, promoting their translation, thereby contributing to learning and memory (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of axon guidance by binding to m6A-containing ROBO3 transcripts, thereby promoting their translation (By similarity). Acts as a negative regulator of antigen cross-presentation in myeloid dendritic cells (By similarity). Acts by binding and promoting translation of m6A-containing transcripts encoding proteins involved in lysosomal degradation and phagosome maturation, leading to increased antigen degradation in myeloid dendritic cells (By similarity). In the context of tumorigenesis, negative regulation of antigen cross-presentation limits the anti-tumor response by reducing efficiency of tumor-antigen cross-presentation (By similarity).
