Biological background
GABRA5 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin. Reported cellular localization context: Secreted. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in the prostate gland and prostate cancers. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Atherosclerosis,Cancer,Cancer Metabolism,Cardiovascular,Heart Disease,Hypoxia,Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism,Lipid Metabolism,Lipids/Lipoproteins,Metabolic Signaling Pathway,Metabolic Signaling Pathways,Metabolism,Metabolism of Lipids and Lipoproteins,Metabolism Processes,Pathways and Processes,Signal Transduction.
- 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 GABRA5 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect GABRA5 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Localize GABRA5 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: 79 kDa; calculated MW: 48507 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): 79 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Secreted.
- Tissue details (provided): Expressed in the prostate gland and prostate cancers. .
