Product Overview
The kinesins constitute a large family of microtubule-dependent motor proteins, which are responsible for the distribution of numerous organelles, vesicles and macromolecular complexes throughout the cell . Individual kinesin members play crucial roles in cell division, intracellular transport, and membrane trafficking events including endocytosis and transcytosis . KIF1C is a member of the KIF1/Unc104 family of kinesin-like proteins, which are involved in the transport of mitochondria or synaptic vesicles in axons . Human KIF1C maps to chromosome 17p13 and encodes a predicted 1,103 amino acid protein with abundant expression in heart and skeletal muscle . Tyrosine phosphorylation is a putative regulator of KIF1C mediated retrograde transport of Golgi vesicles to the endoplasmic reticulum. KIF1C is capable of forming homodimers and can noncovalently associate with 14-3-3 beta, gamma, epsilon and zeta . In mouse macrophages, KIF1C is required for anthrax lethal toxin resistance.

The recommended starting dilution for Western Blot is WB 1:200-1:1000;IHC 1:50-1:200. Optimal dilution should be determined empirically for each laboratory setup, sample type, and detection system. Use freshly prepared lysates with protease inhibitors; add phosphatase inhibitors if studying phosphorylation-dependent forms of KIF1C. Expected band size: Calculated 123kDa. If background is high, increase blocking (5% non-fat milk or BSA in TBST) and/or increase wash stringency.
For IHC-P, heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) is typically required. Recommended starting conditions: citrate buffer pH 6.0 (microwave or pressure cooker, ~20 min) for rodent samples; EDTA buffer pH 9.0 for human clinical samples. After retrieval, allow sections to cool gradually before proceeding to blocking. Include a KIF1C-positive tissue control (confirmed by literature or database expression data) and a negative isotype control in every run. Recommended dilution: WB 1:200-1:1000;IHC 1:50-1:200. Refer to the product datasheet for any target-specific retrieval guidance.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: Human, Mouse, Rat. Cross-reactivity with other species has not been systematically evaluated. If your sample species is not listed, assess immunogen sequence homology to your target species ortholog. The immunogen used is: "Recombinant protein of human KIF1C" — higher sequence identity between species increases the probability of cross-reactivity, but experimental validation with appropriate controls is necessary before drawing scientific conclusions.
Store at -20℃ Valid for 12 months. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage Buffer: PBS with 0.05% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, PH7.4. To maintain antibody activity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot into single-use volumes before first freeze. If working with the antibody frequently, keep a working stock at 4°C for up to 4 weeks — add 0.02% sodium azide to the working stock as a bacteriostatic agent if azide is not already present in the buffer. Monitor performance against a validated positive control when transitioning between storage aliquots or lots.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced from immunized animals and may exhibit some degree of lot-to-lot variation in titer, background, and sensitivity. Each production lot is tested for performance against established acceptance criteria. When transitioning to a new lot, run a side-by-side pilot comparison against your previous lot using a validated positive control sample before updating your standard protocol. If significant performance differences are observed, contact our technical support team — titer adjustments may resolve the issue in most cases.
