Biological background

Biological context: Stimulates the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-1-beta from the monocytic cell line THP-1. .

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Secreted., tissue context: Expressed in adult pancreas, small intestine, stomach, spinal cord and testis. Less pronounced expression in prostate, colon mucosal lining, and ovary..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare GHITM levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of GHITM in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify GHITM-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: Growth hormone-inducible transmembrane protein (GHITM), also known as transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif containing protein 5 (TMBIM5), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GHITM gene on chromosome 10. GHITM, also known asMICS1, TMBIM5 orDERP2, is a mitochondrial protein which localizes in the inner membrane.GHITM is involved in mitochondrial morphology in specific cristae structures and the apoptotic release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. The gene of GHITM maps to chromosome 10q23.1, and encodes a 345-amino-acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 37 kDa. The apparent molecular weight has been reported to be 42 kDa, the increased size in the protein may be due to post-translational modifications. GHITM can be cleaved into smaller forms of 23-27 kDa.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Secreted.
• Tissue details: Expressed in adult pancreas, small intestine, stomach, spinal cord and testis. Less pronounced expression in prostate, colon mucosal lining, and ovary.
• Research category: Cytokines,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Interleukins
