Key elements and design rationale

• Target: SNCG (Laminin subunit gamma-1). Alternative names: Laminin subunit gamma-1;Laminin B2 chain;Laminin-1 subunit gamma;Laminin-10 subunit gamma;Laminin-11 subunit gamma;Laminin-2 subunit gamma;Laminin-3 subunit gamma;Laminin-4 subunit gamma;Laminin-6 subunit gamma;Laminin-7 subunit gamma;Laminin-8 subunit gamma;Laminin-9 subunit gamma;S-laminin subunit gamma;S-LAM gamma;Lamc1;Lamb-2, Lamc-1;
• Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
• Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human
• Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
• Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human gamma Synuclein/SNCG, which shares 53.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with rat SNCG.
• Molecular weight context: observed 17 kDa, calculated 177298 MW (reported)
• Provided application(s): WB, IHC, Flow, ELISA

These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.

Biological background

Function: Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components.

Cellular localization: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane.

Tissue details: Found in the basement membranes (major component).

Background: Gamma-synuclein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNCG gene. This gene encodes a member of the synuclein family of proteins which are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations in this gene have also been associated with breast tumor development.

Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Research relevance and current trends

• Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
• Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.

Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
• Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.

For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
