Biological background
GPX2 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): May function as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins. Plays a role in platelet aggregation and activation by agonists such as convulxin, collagen and thrombin. . Reported cellular localization context: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen . Cell membrane . Melanosome . Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV (PubMed:12643545). . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in platelets (at protein level). .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Axonal Guidance Proteins,Domain Families,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Growth and Development,Neurogenesis,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Nuclear Receptors,Nuclear Signaling Pathways,Transcription,Zinc Finger.
- 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.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate GPX2 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect GPX2 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect GPX2 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry
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: 212 kDa; calculated MW: 48121 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
