Key elements and design rationale

• Target: NUCKS1 — Uncharacterized protein (fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand). Alternative names: Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand ;Flt3lg ;
• Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
• Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
• Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
• Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human NUCKS1, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.
• Molecular weight context: observed 20 kDa, calculated 25847 MW (reported)
• Provided application(s): WB, IHC, IF, Flow, ELISA

These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.

Biological background

NUCKS1 is commonly studied as part of broader cellular pathways and regulatory networks. Expression level, localization, and isoform context can vary by cell type, state, and stimulus, so interpretation typically considers biological context alongside assay controls.

Background: Nuclear ubiquitous casein and cyclin-dependent kinases substrate is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUCKS1 gene. This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is highly conserved in vertebrates. The conserved regions of the protein contain several consensus phosphorylation sites for casein kinase II and cyclin-dependent kinases, two putative nuclear localization signals, and a basic DNA-binding domain. It is phosphorylated in vivo by Cdk1 during mitosis of the cell cycle.

Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Research relevance and current trends

• Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
• Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization with compartment markers.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.

Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
• Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.

For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
