Biological background
NXF1 (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Transports L-glutamate and also L- and D-aspartate. Essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate by rapidly removing released glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Acts as a symport by cotransporting sodium. Reported cellular localization context: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Highly expressed in cerebellum, but also found in frontal cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Amino Acids,Cell Type Marker,Energy Metabolism,Metabolism,Neural Stem Cells,Neuroscience,Neurotransmitter,Signal Transduction,Stem Cells,Surface Molecules,Transporters.
- 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 NXF1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect NXF1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect NXF1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize NXF1 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Enrich NXF1 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: 70 kDa; calculated MW: 59572 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): 70 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
- Tissue details (provided): Highly expressed in cerebellum, but also found in frontal cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia.
