Biological background
ICOS (protein: P2X purinoceptor 1) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain. . Reported cellular localization context: Secreted. Cytoplasm. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level). Highly expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells. Detected in retina pigment epithelium and liver. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Alzheimer's Disease,Cardiovascular,Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Serum Proteins.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate ICOS antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect ICOS expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Localize ICOS by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify ICOS-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions
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: 23 kDa; calculated MW: 23 kDa).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
Additional product details (from the source record)
- Molecular weight (observed): 23 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Secreted. Cytoplasm.
- Tissue details (provided): Detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level). Highly expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells. Detected in retina pigment epithelium and liver. .
