Absence of "GATA9" in Scientific Literature
GATA family proteins (e.g., GATA1-6) are well-documented transcription factors involved in cellular differentiation and development.
No protein or gene named "GATA9" is cataloged in:
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) database
UniProt protein knowledgebase
PubMed or PMC archives (including all search results provided) .
Potential Misreference or Typographical Error
The query may refer to GATA3 , a clinically significant protein with validated antibodies described in multiple sources:
GATA3 Antibody (Example: Cell Signaling Technology #5852)
Property Details Target GATA3 transcription factor Applications Western Blot (1:1000), IHC (1:1600–1:6400), IF (1:800–1:3200) Clinical Relevance Prognostic biomarker in luminal breast cancer Regulatory Role Critical for T-cell development and TH2 differentiation
Antibody Validation Insights
While no "GATA9" antibodies exist, recent initiatives highlight best practices for antibody characterization:
Standardized validation protocols : Require knockout cell lines, multi-application testing (WB, IP, IF), and open data sharing .
Renewable antibodies : Recombinant formats (e.g., IgG) are prioritized for consistency and scalability .
Recommendations for Further Inquiry
Verify target nomenclature : Confirm whether "GATA9" refers to a novel protein or a typographical error (e.g., GATA3, GATA6).
