Biological background
MSN (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Probably involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane. May inhibit herpes simplex virus 1 infection at an early stage. . Reported cellular localization context: Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Apical cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cell projection, microvillus membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Phosphorylated form is enriched in microvilli-like structures at apical membrane (By similarity). Increased cell membrane localization of both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms seen after thrombin treatment. . Tissue expression notes (as provided): In all tissues and cultured cells studied.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cytoskeleton,Cytoskeleton/ECM,Microfilaments,Signal Transduction.
- 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.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate MSN antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect MSN expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect MSN in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize MSN by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify MSN-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions, Enrich MSN 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: 15 kDa; calculated MW: 67820 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
