Biological background
Function: Possibly involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions during inflammation and tumorigenesis.
Cellular localization: Late endosome membrane. Peripheral membrane protein. Prevacuolar compartment membrane.
Tissue details: Found in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. .
Background: Dock180, (Dedicator of cytokinesis) also known as DOCK1, is a large (~180 kDa) protein involved in intracellular signalling networks. This gene encodes a member of the dedicator of cytokinesis protein family. Dedicator of cytokinesis proteins act as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for small Rho family G proteins. The encoded protein regulates the small GTPase Rac, thereby influencing several biological processes, including phagocytosis and cell migration. Overexpression of this gene has also been associated with certain cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization with compartment markers.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.
Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
- Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.
For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
