| MFN2

Mitofusin-2 is a protein that is encoded by the MFN2 gene. Mitofusins are GTPases embedded in the outer membrane of the mitochondria. In mammals MFN1 and MFN2 are essential for mitochondrial fusion. In addition to the mitofusins, OPA1 regulates inner mitochondrial membrane fusion, and DRP1 is responsible for mitochondrial fission.Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is a mitochondrial membrane protein that plays a central role in regulating mitochondrial fusion and cell metabolism. More specifically, MFN2 is a dynamin-like GTPase embedded in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) which in turn affects mitochondrial dynamics, distribution, quality control, and function.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Human MFN2 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	84-102	96
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human MFN2 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Tissue Homogenates(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	90-110
	Average (%)	91	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	105-114
	Average (%)	94	107
