Product Overview
This gene encodes a component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex, which is required for microtubule nucleation. In mammalian cells, the protein localizes to centrosomes in association with gamma-tubulin. Crystal structure analysis revealed a structure composed of five helical bundles arranged around conserved hydrophobic cores. An exposed surface area located in the C-terminal domain is essential and sufficient for direct binding to gamma-tubulin. Mutations in this gene that alter microtubule organization are associated with microcephaly and chorioretinopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.TUBGCP4 (Tubulin Gamma Complex Associated Protein 4) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TUBGCP4 include Microcephaly And Chorioretinopathy, Autosomal Recessive, 3 and Autosomal Recessive Chorioretinopathy-Microcephaly Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Regulation of PLK1 Activity at G2/M Transition and Cell Cycle, Mitotic. GO annotations related to this gene include structural constituent of cytoskeleton. An important paralog of this gene is TUBGCP6.

The recommended starting dilution for Western Blot is WB 1:500-1:2000. 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 TUBGCP4. Expected band size: Calculated 76 kDa, Observed Refer to figures. If background is high, increase blocking (5% non-fat milk or BSA in TBST) and/or increase wash stringency.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: Human, Mouse. 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: "Fusion protein of human TUBGCP4" — 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% NaN3 and 40% 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.
