Biological background
ISL1 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Binds and regulates the promoters of the insulin, glucagon and somatostatin genes. Involved in the specificarion of motor neurons in cooperation with LHX3 and LDB1 (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in subsets of neurons of the adrenal medulla and dorsal root ganglion, inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers in the retina, the pineal and some regions of the brain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Atherosclerosis,Cardiogenesis,Cardiovascular,Cell Type Marker,Developmental Biology,Diabetes-associated,Intracellular,Lineage Markers,Lineage Specification,Neural Stem Cells,Neurogenesis,Neurology Process,Neuron Marker,Neuroscience,Organogenesis,Stem Cells,Transcription Factors/Regulators.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate ISL1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect ISL1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect ISL1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize ISL1 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Enrich ISL1 by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
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: 39 kDa; calculated MW: 39036 MW).
- 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): 39 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Nucleus.
- Tissue details (provided): Expressed in subsets of neurons of the adrenal medulla and dorsal root ganglion, inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers in the retina, the pineal and some regions of the brain.
