Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Promotes formation and maturation of oligodendrocytes, especially within the brain. Cooperates with OLIG2 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube (By similarity). .
Scientific background (datasheet): Oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1 (OLIG1), also known as class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 6 (BHLHB6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OLIG1 gene. This gene is mapped to 21q22.11. This gene is a member of the oligodendrocyte lineage gene family which encodes basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. Studies in mice show that it is coexpressed with Olig2 in neural progenitors, and has a role in the development and maturation of oligodendrocytes. OLIG1 gene promotes formation and maturation of oligodendrocytes, especially within the brain. It cooperates with OLIG2 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Nucleus .
Tissue details (datasheet): Expressed in the brain, in oligodendrocytes. Strongly expressed in oligodendrogliomas, while expression is weak to moderate in astrocytomas. Expression in glioblastomas is highly variable. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Type Marker,Neurogenesis,Neurology Process,Neuroscience.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
