At4g09790 Antibody

Identifier Analysis

The designation "At4g09790" follows Arabidopsis thaliana gene nomenclature, where:

• At: Arabidopsis thaliana

• 4g: Chromosome 4

• 09790: Unique locus identifier

Despite this standardized format, no gene or protein named At4g09790 is cataloged in TAIR (The Arabidopsis Information Resource) or UniProt databases as of March 2025.

Potential Misidentification

The closest match in the provided search results is At4g17080 ([Search Result 9]), a hypothetical protein in Arabidopsis thaliana. The Anti-Mouse-ear cress At4g17080 Antibody (Boster Bio, Catalog #DZ41363) is a polyclonal antibody reactive to Arabidopsis species. Key specifications include:

No analogous product exists for At4g09790.

Antibody Validation Gaps

For the At4g17080 antibody ([Search Result 9]):

• Epitope: Uncharacterized

• Immunogen: Not disclosed

• Functional Data: Absent in literature

• Commercial Availability: Limited to Boster Bio, with no independent citations or reproducibility studies.

Research Implications

The absence of At4g09790-targeting antibodies suggests:

1. The gene/protein may be non-existent or deprecated in current genomic annotations.

2. Technical errors: Potential typographical mistakes in the identifier (e.g., At4g17080 vs. At4g09790).

3. Hypothetical proteins: If At4g09790 exists hypothetically, no antibody has been commercialized or validated for it.

Recommendations

To address this discrepancy:

• Verify the identifier through TAIR (www.arabidopsis.org) or Phytozome (phytozome.jgi.doe.gov).

• Explore homologs: If studying a specific pathway, cross-reference with characterized Arabidopsis proteins (e.g., At4g17080).

• Request custom antibody development from companies like Boster Bio or Thermo Fisher Scientific, providing a synthesized peptide immunogen.
