Biological background
RXRA (protein: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (gsk3b)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Transcription factor that may have a role in kidney cell differentiation (PubMed:24676634). Has a critical role in the development of the urogenital tract, the eyes, and the CNS. . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous system.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Type Marker,Developmental Biology,Developmental Families,Domain Families,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Neuroscience,Organogenesis,Transcription,Transcription Factors.
- 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.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate RXRA antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect RXRA expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Localize RXRA by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Enrich RXRA 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: 51-55 kDa; calculated MW: 44706 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): 51-55 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Nucleus.
- Tissue details (provided): Expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous system.
