Biological background

Biological context: May play a role in the integrity of hemidesmosome and the attachment of basal keratinocytes to the underlying basement membrane. The 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen is an anchoring filament component involved in dermal-epidermal cohesion. Is the target of linear IgA bullous dermatosis autoantibodies.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Hemidesmosome, Membrane, Single-pass type II membrane protein, Basement membrane., tissue context: Detected in skin. In the cornea, it is detected in the epithelial basement membrane, the epithelial cells, and at a lower level in stromal cells. Stratified squamous epithelia. Found in hemidesmosomes. Expressed in cornea, oral mucosa, esophagus, intestine, kidney collecting ducts, ureter, bladder, urethra and thymus but is absent in lung, blood vessels, skeletal muscle and nerves..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare ABCC5 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of ABCC5 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify ABCC5-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)

• Background: Multidrug resistance-associated protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCC5 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions in the cellular export of its substrate, cyclic nucleotides. This export contributes to the degradation of phosphodiesterases and possibly an elimination pathway for cyclic nucleotides. Studies show that this protein provides resistance to thiopurine anticancer drugs, 6-mercatopurine and thioguanine, and the anti-HIV drug 9- (2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine. This protein may be involved in resistance to thiopurines in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and antiretroviral nucleoside analogs in HIV-infected patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Hemidesmosome, Membrane, Single-pass type II membrane protein, Basement membrane.
• Tissue details: Detected in skin. In the cornea, it is detected in the epithelial basement membrane, the epithelial cells, and at a lower level in stromal cells. Stratified squamous epithelia. Found in hemidesmosomes. Expressed in cornea, oral mucosa, esophagus, intestine, kidney collecting ducts, ureter, bladder, urethra and thymus but is absent in lung, blood vessels, skeletal muscle and nerves.
