MLX (Max-like protein X; also known as transcription factor-like protein 4) is a 30 kDa member of the Max-like bHLHZip family of proteins. It is widely expressed and is found in both cytoplasm and nucleus. MLX is a transcriptional repressor when dimerized with MAD family members and a transcriptional activator when dimerized with MONDO family members. Human MLX is 298 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one DNA-binding region (aa 76‑87), an HLH domain (aa 127‑192) and a Leu-zipper domain (aa 140‑160). There are three alternate splice short forms. One shows the deletion of aa 15‑68, a second shows deletion of aa 15‑68 and 81‑110, and a third shows a 3 aa substitution for aa 111‑298. Over aa 197‑298, human MLX is 99% identical to mouse and canine MLX.

Scientific Data Images for Human MLX Antibody
Detection of Human MLX by Western Blot.
Western blot shows nuclear extracts of PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human MLX Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4186) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for MLX at approximately 30 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
MLX in U2OS Human Cell Line.
MLX was detected in immersion fixed U2OS human osteosarcoma cell line using Goat Anti-Human MLX Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4186) at 15 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell nuclei. Staining was performed using our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Non-adherent Cells.
