IHC image of ETFA staining in Human heart formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab110316, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

ETFA or Electron-Transfer-Flavoprotein alpha subunit is an essential part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This protein which has a molecular mass of approximately 34 kDa functions in the transfer of electrons from acyl-CoA dehydrogenases to the main respiratory chain for energy production. ETFA is commonly expressed in tissues with high-energy demands such as the liver heart and skeletal muscle. The protein forms a heterodimeric complex with its counterpart ETFB providing a critical function in electron transfer during fatty acid oxidation.
Biological function summary

ETFA operates as an important part of the electron transfer process within the mitochondria. It acts as one-half of the heterodimeric electron-transfer flavoprotein complex teaming with ETFB. This complex facilitates electron transfer from a range of acyl-CoA dehydrogenases to ETF dehydrogenase which then continues the process of electron transfer to coenzyme Q in the respiratory chain. This action is key to the breakdown of fats enabling energy extraction and processing.

Pathways

ETFA has important roles in fatty acid beta-oxidation and amino acid catabolism. It engages in these pathways by transferring electrons as mentioned interfacing with other proteins like ETF dehydrogenase. This positioning within the mitochondrial matrix enables ETFA to assist in converting fat and protein substrates into energy which the cell can use. Its molecular interactions highlight its integral position in maintaining energy homeostasis.

Problems with ETFA lead to glutaric acidemia type 2 a metabolic disorder that impairs the body's ability to oxidize fatty acids and some amino acids. Deficiencies in ETFA function disrupt the electron transport to the respiratory chain causing an accumulation of intermediary metabolites. These disruptions can relate to or involve other mitochondrial components and proteins like ETFB or ETFDH. Correct diagnosis and understanding of ETFA's role in such conditions are instrumental for targeted therapeutic approaches.

Target data

Heterodimeric electron transfer flavoprotein that accepts electrons from several mitochondrial dehydrogenases, including acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, glutaryl-CoA and sarcosine dehydrogenase (PubMed : 10356313, PubMed : 15159392, PubMed : 15975918, PubMed : 27499296, PubMed : 9334218). It transfers the electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase) (PubMed : 9334218). Required for normal mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and normal amino acid metabolism (PubMed : 12815589, PubMed : 1430199, PubMed : 1882842).
