Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human RRBP1, which shares 87.2% and 89.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat RRBP1, respectively.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 200 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, IHC-F, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
ribosome binding protein 1. Ribosome-binding protein 1, also referred to as p180, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RRBP1 gene. It is mapped to 20p12.1. This gene encodes a ribosome-binding protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Studies suggest that this gene plays a role in ER proliferation, secretory pathways and secretory cell differentiation, and mediation of ER-microtubule interactions. Alternative splicing has been observed and protein isoforms are characterized by regions of N-terminal decapeptide and C-terminal heptad repeats. Splicing of the tandem repeats results in variations in ribosome-binding affinity and secretory function. The full-length nature of variants which differ in repeat length has not been determined. Pseudogenes of this gene have been identified on chromosomes 3 and 7, and RRBP1 has been excluded as a candidate gene in the cause of Alagille syndrome, the result of a mutation in a nearby gene on chromosome 20p12. Functional note: Acts as a ribosome receptor and mediates interaction between the ribosome and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Reported localization: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane, Single-pass type III membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Expressed in kidney.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how RRBP1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- DNA/RNA: Researchers commonly examine how RRBP1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling: Researchers commonly examine how RRBP1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative RRBP1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of RRBP1 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
