Biological background
Biological context: Key regulator of transforming growth factor beta (TGFB1, TGFB2 and TGFB3) that controls TGF-beta activation by maintaining it in a latent state during storage in extracellular space. Associates specifically via disulfide bonds with the Latency-associated peptide (LAP), which is the regulatory chain of TGF-beta, and regulates integrin-dependent activation of TGF-beta. Able to outcompete LTBP1 for binding to LAP regulatory chain of TGF-beta. Controls activation of TGF-beta-1 (TGFB1) on the surface of activated regulatory T-cells (Tregs). Required for epithelial fusion during palate development by regulating activation of TGF-beta-3 (TGFB3) (By similarity).
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane. Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell surface., tissue context: Heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung and pancreas..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Tspan1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Tspan1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Tspan1-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: TSPAN1 belongs to the large family of tetraspanins, so named because they contain 4 transmembrane domains. Tetraspanins are frequently expressed at the cell surface in association with each other and with other molecules, such as integrins (see ITGB1; 135630), and they function to regulate cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell surface.
- Tissue details: Heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung and pancreas.
