Overview
Anti-GIPC1 Antibody is an antibody targeting PDZ domain-containing protein GIPC1, GIPC, GAIP C-terminus-interacting protein, RGS-GAIP-interacting protein, Synectin, NIP, TIP-2 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: PDZ domain-containing protein GIPC1, GIPC, GAIP C-terminus-interacting protein, RGS-GAIP-interacting protein, Synectin, NIP, TIP-2 (also reported as PDZ domain-containing protein GIPC1, GIPC, GAIP C-terminus-interacting protein, RGS-GAIP-interacting protein, Synectin, NIP, TIP-2).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Rat, mouse - 14/15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: Unconjugated (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
GIPC1 belongs to a family of evolutionarily conserved adaptor proteins responsible for the trafficking of numerous transmembrane proteins via endocytosis. Members of GIPC (GAIP interacting protein, C-terminus) have three main domains responsible for protein interactions; a PDZ domain which is flanked by GH1 and GH2 domains. GH1 domain is responsible for the dimerization of the protein, while GH2 is important for the interaction of GIPC1 with MYO6, a retrograde motor protein involved in protein trafficking.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-PZ045.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
