Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Mouse Monoclonal Mouse IgG2b
- Clone number: Clone: 10G8
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human ARA9 recombinant protein (Position: D91-H330). Human ARA9 shares 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat ARA9. (reported region: D91-H330).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 38 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Monkey,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a monoclonal antibody, the reagent targets a defined epitope, supporting consistency across experiments; epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes can affect signal.
Biological background
aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein. AIP, also known as, ARA9 or XAP-2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AIP gene. This gene is mapped to 11q13.2. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm as part of a multiprotein complex, but upon binding of ligand is transported to the nucleus. AIP may play a positive role in aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated signalling possibly by influencing its receptivity for ligand and/or its nuclear targeting. It has been shown that AIP is the cellular negative regulator of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein. AIP mutations may be the cause of a familial form of acromegaly, familial isolated pituitary adenoma (FIPA). Functional note: May play a positive role in AHR-mediated (aromatic hydrocarbon receptor) signaling, possibly by influencing its receptivity for ligand and/or its nuclear targeting. Cellular negative regulator of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein. Reported localization: Cytoplasm Expression/tissue context: Widely expressed. Higher levels seen in the heart, placenta and skeletal muscle. Not expressed in the liver.
Research relevance and current trends
- Chaperones: Researchers commonly examine how AIP relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Neuroscience: Researchers commonly examine how AIP relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Protein Trafficking: Researchers commonly examine how AIP relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative AIP levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of AIP across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
