Biological background
Biological context: GTP-binding protein involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport. Required for the import of protein into the nucleus and also for RNA export. Involved in chromatin condensation and control of cell cycle (By similarity). The complex with BIRC5/ survivin plays a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules. Acts as a negative regulator of the kinase activity of VRK1 and VRK2. .
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Nucleus envelope . Predominantly nuclear during interphase. Becomes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm during mitosis. Colocalizes with NEMP1 at the nuclear envelope (By similarity). Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. ., tissue context: Expressed in a variety of tissues. ..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Cd86 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Cd86 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Cd86-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)
- Background: Cluster of Differentiation 86 (also known as CD86 and B7-2) is a protein expressed on antigen-presenting cells that provides costimulatory signals necessary for T cell activation and survival. The CD86 gene encodes a type I membrane protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization mapping, the CD86, like CD80, was mapped to human 3q21. The antigen presentation coactivators B71 and B72, which are important in other immune-mediated thyroid diseases, are important for lymphocytic infiltration and the immune response against thyroid carcinoma.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Nucleus envelope . Predominantly nuclear during interphase. Becomes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm during mitosis. Colocalizes with NEMP1 at the nuclear envelope (By similarity). Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. .
