Biological background
S100A6 (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): May function as calcium sensor and modulator, contributing to cellular calcium signaling. May function by interacting with other proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, and inly play a role in many physiological processes such as the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and in cell motility. Binds 2 calcium ions. Calcium binding is cooperative. . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus envelope. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expression is restricted to melanoma and melanocyte cell lines and retina.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Biology,Cell Cycle,Cell Differentiation,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling.
- 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 S100A6 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect S100A6 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect S100A6 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize S100A6 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify S100A6-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions, Enrich S100A6 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: 10 kDa; calculated MW: 10180 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
