Biological background
TTR (protein: P2X purinoceptor 1) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain. . Reported cellular localization context: Secreted. Cytoplasm. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level). Highly expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells. Detected in retina pigment epithelium and liver. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Alzheimer's Disease,Cardiovascular,Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Serum Proteins.
- 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.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate TTR antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect TTR expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect TTR in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Enrich TTR by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
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: 59 kDa; calculated MW: 15887 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
Additional product details (from the source record)
- Molecular weight (observed): 59 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Secreted. Cytoplasm.
- Tissue details (provided): Detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level). Highly expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells. Detected in retina pigment epithelium and liver. .
