Functional context (as provided): Binds free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein- bound retinal. Can convert\/oxidize retinaldehyde to retinoic acid (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Highly expressed in thymus, spleen and bone marrow compared to non-hematopoietic tissues such as small intestine, liver, or kidney tissues. Colocalizes with GSK3B and TAU in the Alzheimer disease (AD) brain. Elevated levels seen in breast and colon carcinomas,and which correlates with tumor progression and invasiveness or risk of progression. .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eResearch context keywords from the source record include: Actin Binding Proteins,Actin, etc.,Cytoskeleton,Cytoskeleton\/ECM,Microfilaments,Signal Transduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent studies often focus on connecting target abundance\/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry (IHC):\u003c\/strong\u003e evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence\/ICC (IF\/ICC):\u003c\/strong\u003e visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorkflow ideas (metafield): Validate AIF1 antibody specificity using KO\/KD control samples (WB\/IF\/IHC as appropriate), Detect AIF1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect AIF1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize AIF1 by immunofluorescence\/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify AIF1-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 120-140 kDa; calculated MW: 54862 MW).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO\/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAdditional product details (from the source record)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight (observed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 120-140 kDa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization (provided):\u003c\/strong\u003e Cytoplasm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTissue details (provided):\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly expressed in thymus, spleen and bone marrow compared to non-hematopoietic tissues such as small intestine, liver, or kidney tissues.
