Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived mouse Thioredoxin TRX recombinant protein (Position: V2-A105). (reported region: V2-A105).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 12 kDa; calculated MW: 123799 MW
- Reactivity: Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Vinculin; thioredoxin 1. Thioredoxin is a class of small redox proteins known to be present in all organisms. It is mapped to 9q31.3. The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homodimer and is involved in many redox reactions. The encoded protein is active in the reversible S-nitrosylation of cysteines in certain proteins, which is part of the response to intracellular nitric oxide. This protein is found in the cytoplasm. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Functional note: Participates in various redox reactions through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a disulfide and catalyzes dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions (By similarity). Plays a role in the reversible S-nitrosylation of cysteine residues in target proteins, and thereby contributes to the response to intracellular nitric oxide. Nitrosylates the active site Cys of CASP3 in response to nitric oxide (NO), and thereby inhibits caspase-3 activity. Induces the FOS/JUN AP-1 DNA binding activity in ionizing radiation (IR) cells through its oxidation/reduction status and stimulates AP-1 transcriptional activity (By similarity). . Reported localization: Nucleus. Expression/tissue context: Colon, small intestine, colonic tumors, bronchus, cervix and gall bladder.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how Txn (Vinculin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Energy Metabolism: Researchers commonly examine how Txn (Vinculin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative Txn (Vinculin) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of Txn (Vinculin) across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
