Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-HCCS Antibody Picoband® catalog # A00924-2.
Biological background
Biological context: IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors. Promotes cell migration (By similarity). .
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Secreted., tissue context: High expression in adult thyroid, lower expression in adult and fetal kidney and fetal brain. Not expressed in other tissues..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare HCCS levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of HCCS 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 HCCS-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: Cytochrome c-type heme lyase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HCCS gene on chromosome X. The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that covalently links a heme group to the apoprotein of cytochrome c. Defects in this gene are a cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 7 (MCOPS7). Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Secreted.
- Tissue details: High expression in adult thyroid, lower expression in adult and fetal kidney and fetal brain. Not expressed in other tissues.
- Research category: Atherosclerosis,Cancer,Cardiovascular,Diabetes-associated,Growth Factors,Growth Factors/Hormones,Signal Transduction
