Biological background
PFN1 (protein: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (gsk3b)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Inhibits androgen receptor (AR) and HTT aggregation and binding of G-actin is essential for its inhibition of AR. . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in epididymis (at protein level). .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Tumor Suppressors.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate PFN1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect PFN1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect PFN1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize PFN1 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify PFN1-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions, Enrich PFN1 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: 15054 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): Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
- Tissue details (provided): Expressed in epididymis (at protein level). .
