Biological background
FTH1 (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Has ferroxidase activity. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in the liver. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Alzheimer's Disease,Cancer,Cardiovascular,Cofactors, Vitamins/Minerals,Metabolism,Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Pathways and Processes,Serum Proteins,Signal Transduction,Vitamins/Minerals.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate FTH1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect FTH1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Localize FTH1 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells
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: 69 kDa; calculated MW: 21226 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
