The name PDZ derives from the first three proteins in which these domains were identified: PSD-95 (a 95 kDa protein involved in signaling at the post-synaptic density), DLG (the Drosophila melanogaster Discs large protein) and ZO-1 (the zonula occludens 1 protein involved in maintenance of epithelial polarity)1,2.MAGUKs are scaffolding proteins that comprise several modular protein binding motifs including one or more PDZ domains, a Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, and a catalytically inactive guanylate kinase-like domain1,2.The multidomain nature of PDZ-containing proteins enables them to interact with multiple binding partners and hence organize larger signaling protein complexes.SAP-102 has been shown to participate in the postsynaptic density, a dedicated structure formed in postsynaptic nerve terminals that includes a specialized assembly of ion channels, receptors and signaling molecules that are involved in information processing and the modulation of synaptic plasticity1,2. Moreover, mutations in the SAP102 gene have been linked with a form of mental retardation3.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMapping receptor\/channel localization across neuronal subtypes and subcellular compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLinking trafficking or surface expression changes to activity-dependent signaling and plasticity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUsing KO\/KD or blocking-peptide concepts to strengthen antibody-based target assignment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWestern blot (WB): compare target abundance\/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms\/PTMs.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eImmunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO\/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIsoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePermeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eConceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProvided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-PZ003.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eApplication notes: see product-specific dilution\/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication abbreviations:\u003c\/strong\u003e CBE- Cell-based ELISA, FC- Flow cytometry, ICC- Immunocytochemistry, IE- Indirect ELISA, IF- Immunofluorescence, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry, IP- Immunoprecipitation, LCI- Live cell imaging, N- Neutralization, WB- Western blot. \u003cstrong\u003eSpecies abbreviations:\u003c\/strong\u003e H- Human, M- Mouse, R- Rat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blocking peptide: BLP-PZ003; Negative control: BLP-PZ003.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - Alomone Labs product page scientific background (as provided in this catalog row) - UniProt Knowledgebase (target-level reference) - NCBI Gene (target-level reference) - General antibody validation principles (KO\/KD, peptide competition, isotype control concepts) --\u003e","brand":"Alomone Labs","offers":[{"title":"0.2 ml (Carrier Free) \/ 1","offer_id":53064854438253,"sku":"APZ-003-CF-0P2ML-1","price":994.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.2 ml \/ 1","offer_id":53064970502509,"sku":"APZ-003-0P2ML-1","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mcl \/ 1","offer_id":53064970535277,"sku":"APZ-003-50MCL-1","price":697.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/APZ-003_ept.gif?v=1772461074","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/anti-sap102-antibody-bha21301163","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
