Overview
HLTF Antibody / SMARCA3 is a research-use-only Rabbit polyclonal (rabbit origin) Rabbit IgG directed against HLTF / SMARCA3. It is supplied for interpretation-focused detection and comparative profiling in WB, IF, FACS. Reported localization context: Nuclear.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target context: This antibody is raised against Amino acids S911-L1009 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the HLTF antibody.. Epitope context matters because isoforms, processing, and post-translational modifications can change what is accessible in a given assay.
- Format: Antigen affinity purified. Format influences background and compatibility with different detection chemistries; conjugated formats (when present) can simplify multiplexing and reduce reliance on secondary reagents.
- Species reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat. Cross-species performance can vary with sequence divergence and epitope conservation, so interpretation should be anchored with appropriate biological controls.
- Localization: Nuclear. Subcellular compartment context can help guide expectations in imaging assays and informs fractionation-based comparisons in lysate workflows.
- Applications: WB, IF, FACS. These indicate assay contexts where the antibody is commonly applied; actual performance depends on sample type and processing.
Polyclonal reagents can differ in how they recognize epitope features. Monoclonal antibodies often provide more consistent epitope targeting across lots, while polyclonal preparations may broaden recognition across related epitope variants.
Biological background
HLTF / SMARCA3 refers to the gene/protein target stated in the product record. Protein targets can exhibit context-dependent expression, regulated turnover, isoform diversity, and post-translational modifications that affect apparent molecular weight and epitope accessibility. For curated functional annotation, sequence features, and expression context, consult UniProtKB Q14527, Ensembl, and Human Protein Atlas.
Research relevance and current trends
- Integrating antibody-based detection with single-cell and spatial atlasing efforts to connect RNA programs with protein-level abundance and localization in defined cell states.
- Expanding multiplexed imaging and high-content screening, where reagent specificity, cross-reactivity risk, and channel design (including direct conjugates) become central to interpretation.
- Growing emphasis on reproducibility and application-specific validation frameworks (e.g., genetic perturbation controls, orthogonal measurements, and independent antibody strategies) when drawing mechanistic conclusions.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): commonly used to compare relative abundance/size (e.g., band intensity or mobility shifts) between conditions.
- Immunofluorescence (IF): commonly used to compare subcellular localization patterns and redistribution across stimuli or phenotypes.
- FACS: commonly used for qualitative/quantitative detection where compatible with the assay context.
Interpretation typically focuses on relative differences (presence/absence, fold-changes, compartment shifts, or population-level shifts) rather than absolute quantitation. When signal changes are observed, they may reflect altered expression, altered localization/trafficking, changes in modification state, or differences in sample composition; orthogonal readouts and appropriate controls help distinguish these possibilities.
Application details (record-specific): Western blot: 0.5-1ug/ml,Immunofluorescence: 5ug/ml,Flow cytometry: 1-3ug/million cells
Application notes (record-specific): Differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity may require the HLTF antibody to be titrated for optimal performance.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Product description (record-specific): Helicase-like transcription factor is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HLTF gene. This gene encodes a member of the SWI/SNF family. Members of this family have helicase and ATPase activities and are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein contains a RING finger DNA binding motif. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. However, use of an alternative translation start site produces an isoform that is truncated at the N-terminus compared to the full-length protein.
- Potential confounders: isoforms, proteolytic processing, and PTMs can change epitope presentation and apparent size; fixation/denaturation state can also expose or mask epitopes. Species differences near the epitope may affect cross-reactivity.
- Control concepts: include genetic perturbation (KO/KD) or overexpression comparisons, orthogonal measurement (e.g., transcript or proteomics), and independent antibody/epitope strategies. For conjugated reagents, include staining-only/background controls appropriate to the detection chemistry.
Immunogen/epitope context is described as: Amino acids S911-L1009 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the HLTF antibody.. Monoclonal and polyclonal formats differ in epitope breadth; this can influence sensitivity to sequence variants, isoforms, or PTM-dependent recognition.
