Biological background
FLNA (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Promotes orthogonal branching of actin filaments and links actin filaments to membrane glycoproteins. Anchors various transmembrane proteins to the actin cytoskeleton and serves as a scaffold for a wide range of cytoplasmic signaling proteins. Interaction with FLNA may allow neuroblast migration from the ventricular zone into the cortical plate. Tethers cell surface- localized furin, modulates its rate of internalization and s its intracellular trafficking (By similarity). Involved in ciliogenesis. Plays a role in cell-cell contacts and adherens junctions during the development of blood vessels, heart and brain organs. Plays a role in platelets morphology through interaction with SYK that regulates ITAM- and ITAM-like-containing receptor signaling, resulting in by platelet cytoskeleton organization maintainance (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Ubiquitous.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Tumor Suppressors.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate FLNA antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect FLNA expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect FLNA in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize FLNA by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify FLNA-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions
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: 281 kDa; calculated MW: 281 kDa).
- 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): 281 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
- Tissue details (provided): Ubiquitous.
