Biological background
SEC61A2 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus. Chromosome. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Widely expressed with highest levels in brain, kidney and muscle. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Histones.
- 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 SEC61A2 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect SEC61A2 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect SEC61A2 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize SEC61A2 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify SEC61A2-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions, Enrich SEC61A2 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: 48 kDa; calculated MW: 14135 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): 48 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Nucleus. Chromosome.
- Tissue details (provided): Widely expressed with highest levels in brain, kidney and muscle. .
