Biological background
FTL (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Desmin are class-III intermediate filaments found in muscle cells. In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures. . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm. Cell membrane, sarcolemma . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Ubiquitous.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Metabolism,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.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate FTL antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect FTL expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect FTL in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Quantify FTL-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions, Enrich FTL by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
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: 20 kDa; calculated MW: 53536 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): 20 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Cytoplasm. Cell membrane, sarcolemma .
- Tissue details (provided): Ubiquitous.
