Tools to Study Mitochondrial Dynamics and Fission Pathways

MFF (Mitochondrial Fission Factor) is a critical outer mitochondrial membrane protein that acts as a receptor for Drp1 (Dynamin-related protein 1), orchestrating mitochondrial division. MFF antibodies are developed to detect, quantify, or modulate MFF expression and function, providing powerful tools for studying mitochondrial fission, metabolism, neurodegeneration, cancer, and apoptosis.

🔬 Biological Role of MFF

• Localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane

• Recruits Drp1, initiating mitochondrial constriction and division

• Regulates mitochondrial morphology, distribution, and organelle homeostasis

• Involved in apoptosis, cellular energy balance, and stress response

Aberrant MFF expression or activity is linked to:

• Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s)

• Cardiomyopathies

• Cancer metabolism and survival

• Mitochondrial-related rare disorders

🧪 Applications of MFF Antibodies
