By genomic sequence analysis, the XAF1 gene contains 7 exons spanning 18 kb. Southern blot analysis suggested that XAF1 is a single-copy gene. The XAF1 gene is mapped on 17p13.1. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated nuclear expression of XAF1, in contrast to the cytoplasmic expression of XIAP. Functional analysis indicated that XAF1 reverses the XIAP-mediated inhibition of CASP3 and its protection against apoptosis. Northern blot analysis detected wide expression of 3.9-, 4.5-, 6.0-, and 7.0-kb XAF1 transcripts, with highest levels in heart and ovary and lowest levels in brain and testis. Antisense experiments determined that loss of XAF1 expression enhances resistance to apoptosis. Alteration in XAF1 and XIAP RNA expression levels may lead to increased apoptotic resistance and proliferation due to unregulated XIAP function in cancer cells.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWestern blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImmunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpitope context:\u003c\/strong\u003e binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title\/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies differences:\u003c\/strong\u003e predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e include negative controls (no-primary\/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO\/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry Q6GPH4 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q6GPH4 - Gene search: XAF1 — NCBI Gene — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=XAF1 - Ensembl search: XAF1 — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=XAF1 - PubMed search: XAF1 antibody — PubMed — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=XAF1+antibody - Reactome search: XAF1 — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=XAF1 --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53046432006509,"sku":"RQ7213","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_e335cf9f-e27d-4a1e-bb29-1a3123a2add9.jpg?v=1772000599","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/xiap-associated-factor-1-antibody-xaf1-bha17128781","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
