Biological background

Biological context: Calretinin is a calcium-binding protein which is abundant in auditory neurons.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cuticular plate. Cytosol. Nucleus. Synaptic membrane. Dendrite. Gap junction. Neuron projection. Parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. Presynapse. Stereocilium. Synapse., tissue context: Brain..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare GIGYF2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of GIGYF2 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 GIGYF2-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: This gene contains CAG trinucleotide repeats and encodes a protein containing several stretches of polyglutamine residues. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of tyrosine kinase receptor signaling. This gene is located in a chromosomal region that was genetically linked to Parkinson disease type 11, and mutations in this gene were thought to be causative for this disease. However, more recent studies in different populations have been unable to replicate this association. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Cuticular plate. Cytosol. Nucleus. Synaptic membrane. Dendrite. Gap junction. Neuron projection. Parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. Presynapse. Stereocilium. Synapse.
• Tissue details: Brain.
• Research category: Adaptive Immunity,B Cells,Hematopoietic Progenitors,Immunoglobulins,Immunology,Lymphoid,Receptors,Stem Cells
