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: May modulate neuronal adhesion and neurite growth during development by binding to neural cell adhesion molecules (NG-CAM and N-CAM). Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; binds to hyaluronic acid.
Cellular localization: Secreted .
Tissue details: Brain.
Background: Protein phosphatase 1G is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPM1G gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases. PP2C family members are known to be negative regulators of cell stress response pathways. This phosphatase is found to be responsible for the dephosphorylation of Pre-mRNA splicing factors, which is important for the formation of functional spliceosome. Studies of a similar gene in mice suggested a role of this phosphatase in regulating cell cycle progression.
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.
