Biological background
PIAS2 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Component of the MICOS complex, a large protein complex of the mitochondrial inner membrane that plays crucial roles in the maintenance of crista junctions, inner membrane architecture, and formation of contact sites to the outer membrane. Plays an important role in the maintenance of the MICOS complex stability and the mitochondrial cristae morphology (PubMed:22114354, PubMed:25781180). . Reported cellular localization context: Mitochondrion inner membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein . Mitochondrion . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Ubiquitous. Expressed in numerous tumor cell lines, especially in bladder tumor cells. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cancer,Cardiovascular,Metabolism,Mitochondrial,Mitochondrial Markers,Mitochondrial Metabolism,Pathways and Processes,Signal Transduction.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate PIAS2 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect PIAS2 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Localize PIAS2 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells
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: 55 kDa; calculated MW: 83678 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
