Biological background
Biological context: Multifunctional adapter protein that binds to various membrane receptors, nuclear factors and signaling proteins to regulate many processes, such as cell proliferation, immune response, endosomal trafficking and cell metabolism (PubMed:26583432, PubMed:15016378, PubMed:26073777, PubMed:19661063, PubMed:10490823). Regulates signaling pathway leading to cell proliferation through interaction with RAB5A and subunits of the NuRD/MeCP1 complex (PubMed:15016378). Functions as a positive regulator of innate immune response via activation of AKT1 signaling pathway by forming a complex with APPL1 and PIK3R1 (By similarity). Inhibits Fc-gamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis through PI3K/Akt signaling in macrophages (By similarity). Regulates TLR4 signaling in activated macrophages (By similarity). Involved in trafficking of the TGFBR1 from the endosomes to the nucleus via microtubules in a TRAF6-dependent manner (PubMed:26583432). Plays a role in cell metabolism by regulating adiponecting and insulin signaling pathways (PubMed:26073777, PubMed:19661063, PubMed:24879834). Required for fibroblast migration through HGF cell signaling (By similarity). Positive regulator of beta-catenin/TCF-dependent transcription through interaction with RUVBL2/reptin resulting in the relief of RUVBL2-mediated repression of beta-catenin/TCF target genes by modulating the interactions within the beta-catenin-reptin-HDAC complex (PubMed:19433865).
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus; Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Endosome; Cytoplasm; ruffle; phagosome, tissue context: High levels in heart, ovary, pancreas and skeletal muscle..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare APPL1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of APPL1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify APPL1-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: DCC-interacting protein 13-alpha (APPL1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APPL1 gene. The APPL1 gene is mapped to 3q21.1-p13.3. It is said to contain 709 amino acids and share 54% amino acid identity with APPL2. APPL is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, ovary, and pancreas, tissues in which AKT2 mRNA is abundant. It has been regarded as an adaptor that may tether inactive AKT2 to the PI3K in the cytoplasm and thereby may expedite recruitment of AKT2 and PI3K to the cell membrane upon mitogenic stimulation.
