Biological background
Biological context: Flavoenzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of spermine to spermidine. Can also use N1-acetylspermine and spermidine as substrates, with different affinity depending on the isoform (isozyme) and on the experimental conditions. Plays an important role in the regulation of polyamine intracellular concentration and has the potential to act as a determinant of cellular sensitivity to the antitumor polyamine analogs. May contribute to beta-alanine production via aldehyde dehydrogenase conversion of 3-amino-propanal.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm., tissue context: Widely expressed. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed at higher level in brain and skeletal muscle. Isoform 7 is found in brain and spleen, isoform 10 is widely expressed but found at lower level in heart, kidney, liver and lung..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare ZIC1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of ZIC1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify ZIC1-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: ZIC1 is a member of the Zinc finger of the cerebellum (ZIC) protein family. This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. Members of this family are important during development. Aberrant expression of this gene is seen in medulloblastoma, a childhood brain tumor. This gene is closely linked to the gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 4, a related family member on chromosome 3. This gene encodes a transcription factor that can bind and transactivate the apolipoprotein E gene.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
- Tissue details: Widely expressed. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed at higher level in brain and skeletal muscle. Isoform 7 is found in brain and spleen, isoform 10 is widely expressed but found at lower level in heart, kidney, liver and lung.
