Target

Function
Dynamin-related GTPase required for mitochondrial fusion and regulation of apoptosis. May form a diffusion barrier for proteins stored in mitochondrial cristae. Proteolytic processing in response to intrinsic apoptotic signals may lead to disassembly of OPA1 oligomers and release of the caspase activator cytochrome C (CYCS) into the mitochondrial intermembrane space. -
Tissue specificity
Highly expressed in retina. Also expressed in brain, testis, heart and skeletal muscle. Isoform 1 expressed in retina, skeletal muscle, heart, lung, ovary, colon, thyroid gland, leukocytes and fetal brain. Isoform 2 expressed in colon, liver, kidney, thyroid gland and leukocytes. Low levels of all isoforms expressed in a variety of tissues. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in OPA1 are a cause of optic atrophy type 1 (OPA1) [MIM:165500]. OPA1 is a dominantly inherited optic neuropathy occurring in 1 in 50,000 individuals that features progressive loss in visual acuity leading, in many cases, to legal blindness.
Defects in OPA1 are the cause of optic atrophy 1 with deafness (OPA1D) [MIM:125250]. Some individuals with mutations in OPA1 manifest also ophthalmoplegia and myopathy. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the dynamin family. -
Post-translational
modificationsPARL-dependent proteolytic processing releases an antiapoptotic soluble form not required for mitochondrial fusion. -

Secondary
Goat polyclonal to Rabbit IgG - H&L - Pre-Adsorbed (HRP) at 1/3000 dilution
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 111 kDa
Observed band size: 92 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?
Additional bands at: 86 kDa (possible isoform)
Although the predicted band size is ~111 kDa based on Swiss-prot data, bands of 92 kDa and 86 kDa has been previously observed. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, November 2005, Vol. 46, No. 11 -
OPA1 was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Rat Brain whole tissue lysate, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to OPA1 and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, rat brain whole tissue lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab42364.
Secondary: Mouse monoclonal [SB62a] Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG light chain (HRP) (ab99697).
Band: 92kDa: OPA1; non specific - 100kDa: We are unsure as to the identity of this extra band.
