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
Function: Stimulates the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-1-beta from the monocytic cell line THP-1. .
Cellular localization: Secreted.
Tissue details: Expressed in adult pancreas, small intestine, stomach, spinal cord and testis. Less pronounced expression in prostate, colon mucosal lining, and ovary.
Background: DNA-ed RNA polymerases I, II, and III subunit RPABC3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POLR2H gene. The three eukaryotic RNA polymerases are complex multisubunit enzymes that play a central role in the transcription of nuclear genes. This gene encodes an essential and highly conserved subunit of RNA polymerase II that is shared by the other two eukaryotic DNA-ed RNA polymerases, I and III. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene.
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.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP/Co-IP): enrich the target to study binding partners and complex composition (conceptual).
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.
