Biological background
CNTNAP1 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed at highest levels in heart, followed by liver and kidney. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Type Marker,Neuroscience.
- 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.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate CNTNAP1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect CNTNAP1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect CNTNAP1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry
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: 25 kDa; calculated MW: 50152 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): 25 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
- Tissue details (provided): Expressed at highest levels in heart, followed by liver and kidney. .
