Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): TLN1: Probably involved in connections of major cytoskeletalstructures to the plasma membrane. High molecular weightcytoskeletal protein concentrated at regions of cell-substratumcontact and, in lymphocytes, at cell-cell contacts (Bysimilarity). |TLN2: As a major component of focal adhesion plaques thatlinks integrin to the actin cytoskeleton, may play an importantrole in cell adhesion. Recruits PIP5K1C to focal adhesion plaquesand strongly activates its kinase activity (By similarity).
Scientific background (datasheet): Talin is a high-molecular-weight cytoskeletal protein concentrated at regions of cell-substratum contact and, in lymphocytes, at cell-cell contacts. Talin serves a function of linking vinculin to the integrins, and, thus, the cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix (ECM) receptors. It has a mass of 270 kD and shares 23% N-terminal identity with ezrin, which has similar functions. TLN gene is mapped to 9p.
Cellular localization (datasheet): TLN1: Cell projection, ruffle membrane Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton Cell surface Cell junction, focaladhesion Note: Colocalizes with LAYN at the membraneruffles. Localized preferentially in focal adhesions thanfibrillar adhesions (By similarity). |Tln1: Cell projection, ruffle membrane Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton Cell surface |TLN2: Cell junction, focal adhesion. Celljunction, synapse. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein;Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note: Focal adhesionplaques and synapses.|Tln2: Cell junction, focal adhesion Cell junction, synapse Cell membrane Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton Note: Focaladhesion plaques and synapses.
Tissue details (datasheet): Characteristic of a type of small (30-80 nm) neurosecretory vesicles, including presynaptic vesicles, but also vesicles of various neuroendocrine cells of both neuronal and epithelial phenotype.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 FERM domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Actin Assembly,Actin, etc.,Cytoskeleton,Cytoskeleton/ECM,Microfilaments,Signal Transduction.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a monoclonal antibody, this reagent is expected to recognize a defined epitope, which can support consistency across lots when epitope accessibility is preserved.
