Reported/annotated localization context: Cytoplasmic, cell membrane. Species reactivity (as provided): Mouse, Rat.

Key elements and design rationale

• Target: AIGP1 — selectivity and interpretation should be considered in the context of isoforms, post-translational modifications, and related family members when applicable.
• Format: Purified — format can influence background, multiplexing compatibility, and downstream detection strategies.
• Antibody identity: Rabbit, Polyclonal (rabbit origin), isotype Rabbit IgG — these attributes help align secondary reagents and controls (e.g., isotype-matched controls) with your assay design.
• Localization: Cytoplasmic, cell membrane — expected subcellular distribution can guide band/structure interpretation and help flag off-target signal.
• Product notes (from provided description): Serine incorporator 3 / Axotomy-induced glycoprotein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERINC3 gene. Also found on the membranes of the Golgi apparatus within cells, Axotomy-induced glycoprotein 1 is highly expressed in neuronal populations but is also found in thymus, kidney, liver and testis. Expression levels in tumors can be as much as tenfold the amount found in normal tissue of the same type. This increased expression implicates Axotomy-induced glycoprotein 1 as being involved in the cellular transformation from normal to malignant tissue. It is believed it contributes to oncogenesis by partially protecting cells from serum starvation and etoposide-induced apoptosis.

Where multiple assay formats are possible, align the antibody format, host/isotype, and listed applications with your detection system and controls to support clear interpretation of signal.

Biological background

In this catalog, AIGP1 is positioned within Renal & Urology, Tumor, Kidney disease research contexts. Localization annotations (e.g., Cytoplasmic, cell membrane) can help contextualize expected signal patterns in imaging and fractionation-based readouts. For authoritative gene/protein nomenclature, domains/isoforms, and curated functional annotations, consult resources such as UniProt, NCBI Gene, and Ensembl.

Research relevance and current trends

• Higher-plex and spatially resolved readouts (e.g., multiplex IF/IHC, spatial omics) are increasing demand for well-characterized primary antibodies with clearly stated host/isotype and labeling strategies.
• Genetic perturbation controls (knockout/knockdown) and orthogonal measurements (e.g., RNA vs protein) are commonly used to strengthen target attribution when interpreting antibody-derived signals.
• Reproducibility initiatives emphasize transparent reporting of antibody identity (clone, host, isotype) and experimental context to improve cross-study comparability.

Common research applications

• WB: interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, epitope accessibility, and potential isoform/PTM differences across conditions.
• IF: interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, epitope accessibility, and potential isoform/PTM differences across conditions.
• FACS: interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, epitope accessibility, and potential isoform/PTM differences across conditions.
• Direct ELISA: interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, epitope accessibility, and potential isoform/PTM differences across conditions.
• Typical workflow themes: Western blot validation, IF/ICC localization, Flow cytometry staining, ELISA binding assay, Specificity controls.
• Workflow notes: Validate SERINC3 by Western blot in cell/tissue lysates (include controls), Detect SERINC3 localization by IF/ICC in cultured cells (optimize fixation + dilution), Quantify SERINC3-positive cells by flow cytometry in…

When comparing conditions, consistent sample processing and appropriate negative/positive controls support interpretation of qualitative localization differences and quantitative abundance changes.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Isoforms and post-translational modifications may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility, especially across cell states or treatments.
• Species and tissue context can affect sequence conservation, expression level, and background binding; predicted reactivity should be verified in your sample.
• Control concepts include isotype-matched controls, secondary-only controls (for indirect detection), and genetic/orthogonal controls (e.g., KO/KD, independent antibodies, or RNA measurements) when feasible.

Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies can differ in epitope recognition breadth and lot-to-lot characteristics; consider clonality and clone information (when provided) alongside your assay requirements. Conjugated formats may simplify detection but can change background and multiplexing behavior compared with unconjugated primaries.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
