Biological background
Biological context: Component of the centrioles controlling mother and daughter centrioles length. Recruits to the centriole IFT88 and centriole distal appendage-specific proteins including CEP164. Involved in the biogenesis of the cilium, a centriole-associated function. The cilium is a cell surface projection found in many vertebrate cells required to transduce signals important for development and tissue homeostasis. Plays an important role in development by regulating Wnt signaling and the specification of the left-right axis. Only OFD1 localized at the centriolar satellites is removed by autophagy, which is an important step in the ciliogenesis regulation.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus. Centriole. Cilium basal body. Centriolar satellite., tissue context: Widely expressed. Expressed in 9 and 14 weeks old embryos in metanephric mesenchyme, oral mucosa, lung, heart, nasal and cranial cartilage, and brain. Expressed in metanephros, brain, tongue, and limb..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare OFD1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of OFD1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify OFD1-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)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: Oral-facial-digital syndrome 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OFD1 gene. This gene is mapped to Xp22.2. This gene is located on the X chromosome and encodes a centrosomal protein. A knockout mouse model has been used to study the effect of mutations in this gene. The mouse gene is also located on the X chromosome, however, unlike the human gene it is not subject to X inactivation. Mutations in this gene are associated with oral-facial-digital syndrome type I and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2. Many pseudogenes have been identified; a single pseudogene is found on chromosome 5 while as many as fifteen have been found on the Y chromosome.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Nucleus. Centriole. Cilium basal body. Centriolar satellite.
- Tissue details: Widely expressed. Expressed in 9 and 14 weeks old embryos in metanephric mesenchyme, oral mucosa, lung, heart, nasal and cranial cartilage, and brain. Expressed in metanephros, brain, tongue, and limb.
