Biological background
Functionally, SURF6 antibody identifies a 360-amino-acid protein localized to the granular component of the nucleolus, where it associates with pre-rRNA transcripts and ribosomal assembly intermediates. SURF6 interacts with fibrillarin and nucleolin, facilitating pre-rRNA maturation and 60S ribosomal subunit formation. Its RNA-binding capacity and nucleolar localization signal make it an essential factor for ribosome production and nucleolar organization.
The SURF6 gene is located on chromosome 9q34.2 and is expressed ubiquitously, with high levels in proliferating and metabolically active cells. Expression correlates with cellular growth rate, reflecting its role in ribosome synthesis and protein translation capacity.
Pathologically, dysregulation of SURF6 expression has been linked to oncogenesis and stress response modulation. Overexpression is observed in various cancers and is associated with increased ribosome biogenesis and cell proliferation. Conversely, depletion of SURF6 triggers nucleolar stress, p53 activation, and growth arrest. Research using SURF6 antibody supports studies in ribosome assembly, nucleolar dynamics, and cancer biology.
SURF6 antibody is validated for western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry to detect nucleolar proteins.
Structurally, Surfeit locus protein 6 contains arginine-rich motifs that mediate RNA binding and multiple acidic stretches that promote protein-protein interactions within the nucleolus. Its modular domains contribute to the architecture of the ribosomal assembly machinery. This antibody facilitates exploration of SURF6's function in nucleolar integrity and ribosome maturation.
Research relevance and current trends
- Connecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).
- Considering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.
- Comparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.
- Immunofluorescence: visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- ELISA: support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.
Interpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Signal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.
- Species differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.
Antibody notes: Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.
