Overview
Anti-TMEM66 Antibody is an antibody targeting Store-operated calcium entry-associated regulatory factor, SOCE-associated regulatory factor, SARAF, Transmembrane protein 66 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Store-operated calcium entry-associated regulatory factor, SOCE-associated regulatory factor, SARAF, Transmembrane protein 66 (also reported as Store-operated calcium entry-associated regulatory factor, SOCE-associated regulatory factor, SARAF, Transmembrane protein 66).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular, lumen..
- Homology note: Mouse - 13/15 amino acid residues identical; human - 11/15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, 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
TMEM66 (Transmembrane protein 66, also known as SOCE-associated regulatory factor, SARAF) is a regulatory protein of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis, encoded by the TMEM66 gene. TMEM66 is an ER resident protein, which responds to cytosolic Ca2+ elevation after ER Ca2+ refilling.TMEM66 is highly conserved in vertebrates. In mammals it is ubiquitously expressed with high transcript levels in the immune and neuronal tissues.
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.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
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-CC067.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
