Biological background
Biological context: Postsynaptic density scaffolding protein. Binds and cross-links cytoplasmic regions of GRM1, GRM5, ITPR1, DNM3, RYR1, RYR2, SHANK1 and SHANK3. By physically linking GRM1 and GRM5 with ER-associated ITPR1 receptors, it aids the coupling of surface receptors to intracellular calcium release. Isoforms can be differently regulated and may play an important role in maintaining the plasticity at glutamatergic synapses.

Postsynaptic density of neuronal cells. ., tissue context: Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare EXOSC8 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of EXOSC8 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 EXOSC8-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: Exosome component 8, also known as EXOSC8, is a human gene, the protein product of which is part of the exosome complex This gene encodes a 3'-5' exoribonuclease that specifically interacts with mRNAs containing AU-rich elements. The encoded protein is part of the exosome complex that is important for the degradation of numerous RNA species. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cytoplasm . Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane, postsynaptic density . Cell junction, synapse . Postsynaptic density of neuronal cells. .
- Tissue details: Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.
- Research category: Receptors / Channels,Synapse Marker
