Overview
OPAL1 (outcome predictor in acute leukemia 1) is an almost uncharacterized transmembrane adaptor protein expressed mainly by megacaryocytes and platelets. Its expression is enhanced on TEL/AML leukemic cells. The function of OPAL1 is unknown, although the presence of a cytochrome c-like heme-binding site and a transmembrane domain suggested OPAL1 may be involved in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Its originally reported prognostic impact appears to be treatment dependent.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody OPAL1-01 recognizes an intracellular epitope of OPAL1 (outcome predictor in acute leukemia 1), a transmembrane adaptor protein expressed mainly by megacaryocytes and platelets.
