Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human MVP recombinant protein (Position: A2-H259). (reported region: A2-H259).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 99 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, IHC-F, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
major vault protein. Major vault protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MVP gene. This gene encodes the major component of the vault complex. Vaults are multi-subunit ribonucleoprotein structures that may be involved in nucleo-cytoplasmic transport. The encoded protein may play a role in multiple cellular processes by regulating the MAP kinase, JAK/STAT and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathways. The encoded protein also plays a role in multidrug resistance, and expression of this gene may be a prognostic marker for several types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. Functional note: Required for normal vault structure. Vaults are multi- subunit structures that may act as scaffolds for proteins involved in signal transduction. Vaults may also play a role in nucleo- cytoplasmic transport. Down-regulates IFNG-mediated STAT1 signaling and subsequent activation of JAK. Down-regulates SRC activity and signaling through MAP kinases. Reported localization: Cytoplasm. Expression/tissue context: Present in most normal tissues. Higher expression observed in epithelial cells with secretory and excretory functions, as well as in cells chronically exposed to xenobiotics, such as bronchial cells and cells lining the intestine. Overexpressed in many multidrug-resistant cancer cells.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how MVP relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Nuclear Import/Export: Researchers commonly examine how MVP relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Protein Trafficking: Researchers commonly examine how MVP relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative MVP levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of MVP across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
