Biological background
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1, also called DOD, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIN1 gene. It is mapped to 19p13.2. The enzyme binds to a subset of proteins and thus plays a role in regulating protein function. Studies have shown that the deregulation of PIN1 may play a pivotal role in various diseases. Notably, the up-regulation of PIN1 may be implicated in certain cancers, and the down-regulation of Pin1 may be implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Inhibitors of PIN1 may have therapeutic implications for cancer and immune disorders. PIN1 activity regulates the outcome of proline-directed kinase (e.g. MAPK, CDK or GSK3) signalling and consequently regulates cell proliferation (in part through control of cyclin D1 levels and stability) and cell survival. PIN1 also has an essential role in maintaining cell proliferation and regulating cyclin D1 function.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Flow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
