Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Stimulatory or required for the translocation of secretory proteins across the ER membrane.
Scientific background (datasheet): TRAM1 (Translocation-Associating Membrane Protein 1), By crosslinking and reconstitution of canine proteoliposomes, followed by microsequencing and PCR screening of canine kidney and HeLa cell cDNA libraries, Gorlich et al. (1992) isolated cDNAs encoding TRAM (translocating chain-associating membrane protein). The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the TRAM gene to chromosome 8. Sequence analysis predicted that human TRAM is a 374-amino acid, 8-pass transmembrane protein that shares 95% amino acid identity with the canine protein. Functional analysis indicated that TRAM influences glycosylation and is stimulatory or required for the translocation of secretory proteins.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the TRAM family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Organelle Proteins,Organelles,Protein Trafficking,Signal Transduction,Subcellular Markers,Tags & Cell Markers.
- 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.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
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 polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
