Biological background

POSTN (protein: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (gsk3b)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Required for initiation of chromosomal DNA replication. Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Widely expressed, highest levels are found in adult testis and thymus and in fetal liver.

Research relevance and current trends

• Research context keywords from the source record include: Cancer,Cardiogenesis,Cardiovascular,Cell Adhesion Molecules,Cell Type Markers,Cytoskeleton/ECM,Extracellular Matrix,Invasion/Microenvironment,Signal Transduction,Structures,Tags & Cell Markers,Vascular Inflammation.
• Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
• Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.

Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate POSTN antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect POSTN expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Quantify POSTN-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 37 kDa; calculated MW: 65569 MW).
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.

Additional product details (from the source record)

• Molecular weight (observed): 37 kDa
• Cellular localization (provided): Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
• Tissue details (provided): Widely expressed, highest levels are found in adult testis and thymus and in fetal liver.
