Biological background
Biological context: Involved in primary cilium biogenesis. Also involved in autophagy since it is required for trafficking of ATG16L and the expansion of the autophagic compartment.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Centriole. Cilium basal body. Centrosome. Cilium. Cytoplasm. Flagellum., tissue context: Expressed in the heart, brain, liver, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle and pancreas..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare IFT88 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of IFT88 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 IFT88-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)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: Intraflagellar transport protein 88 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFT88 gene. It is mapped to 13q12.11. This gene encodes a member of the tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR) family. The encoded protein is involved in cilium biogenesis. Mutations of a similar gene in mouse can cause polycystic kidney disease. Several transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Centriole. Cilium basal body. Centrosome. Cilium. Cytoplasm. Flagellum.
- Tissue details: Expressed in the heart, brain, liver, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle and pancreas.
- Research category: Cell Adhesion Proteins,ECM Proteins,Neuroscience
