Key elements and design rationale

• Target: TOLLIP — Tripartite motif-containing protein 6 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 4). Alternative names: Short transient receptor potential channel 4; TrpC4; Trp-related protein 4; hTrp-4; hTrp4; TRPC4
• Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
• Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
• Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
• Immunogen: E.coli-derived human TOLLIP recombinant protein (Position: M1-P274).
• Molecular weight context: observed 30 kDa, calculated 37492 MW (reported)

These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.

Biological background

Function: Form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Acts as a cell-cell contact-dependent endothelial calcium entry channel. Probably operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Mediates cation entry, with an enhanced permeability to barium over calcium. May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion.

Cellular localization: Membrane; Enhanced insertion into the cell membrane after activation of the EGF receptor.

Tissue details: Strongly expressed in placenta. Expressed at lower levels in heart, pancreas, kidney and brain. Expressed in endothelial cells. Isoform alpha was found to be the predominant isoform. Isoform beta was not found in pancreas and brain.

Background: TOLLIP(TOLL-Interacting Protein), is an inhibitory adaptor protein that in humans is encoded by the TOLLIP gene. Lo et al.(2009) stated that the TOLLIP gene maps to chromosome 11. The mouse gene maps to chromosome 7. By Western blot analysis of embryonic kidney cells, Burns et al.(2000) confirmed the binding of TOLLIP to IL1RAP, to a complex of IL1RAP-IL1R1, and to IL18R. Burns et al.(2000) proposed that IL1B stimulation induces aggregation of IL1Rs, recruitment of MYD88 followed by TOLLIP-IRAK complexes, and the phosphorylation of IRAK by MYD88. This leads to the dissociation of TOLLIP from IRAK, which can then transmit the IL1-induced signals.

Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Research relevance and current trends

• Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
• Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization with compartment markers.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.

Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
• Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.

For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
