Overview
Anti-SORCS1 (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting Sortilin-Related VPS10 Domain Containing Receptor 1, VPS10 Domain-Containing Receptor SorCS1 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Sortilin-Related VPS10 Domain Containing Receptor 1, VPS10 Domain-Containing Receptor SorCS1 (also reported as Sortilin-Related VPS10 Domain Containing Receptor 1, VPS10 Domain-Containing Receptor SorCS1).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Rat - identical; Human - 14 out of 15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: Unconjugated (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
SORCS1 (also known as Sortilin-Related VPS10 Domain Containing Receptor 1, VPS10 Domain-Containing Receptor) is a member of the vacuolar protein sorting 10 protein (VPS10p) domain receptor family.VPS10p domain receptor (VPS10p-D) family comprises five type-1 transmembrane proteins: SorCS1, SorCS2, SorCS3, SorLA and Sortilin. These receptors carry an extracellular 700 amino acid VPS10p domain that serves as a ligand binding site. Ligands for VPS10p-D receptors include transmembrane proteins, such as signaling receptors and transporters, as well as secreted factors, including trophic factors and morphogens.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-NR134.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
