This description is intended to help interpret the antibody design and the biological context of the target using the fields provided in the catalog record, alongside general experimental considerations.
Biological background
TYR (protein: P2X purinoceptor 1) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the rate-limiting conversions of tyrosine to DOPA, DOPA to DOPA-quinone and possibly 5,6-dihydroxyindole to indole-5,6 quinone. Reported cellular localization context: Melanosome membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Widely expressed; lower levels in brain and lung.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Amino Acid Metabolism,Amino Acids,Cancer,Intracellular Signaling,Metabolic Signaling Pathways,Metabolism,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Pathways and Processes,Protein Phosphorylation,Signal Transduction,Tyrosine Phosphatases.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate TYR antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect TYR expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect TYR in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize TYR by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 47 kDa; calculated MW: 60393 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
