At2g40250 Antibody

Definition and Target Specificity

The At2g40240250 antibody (Product Code: CSB-PA882874XA01DOA) targets the protein product of the At2g40250 locus, a gene of interest in Arabidopsis studies. The UniProt ID Q9SIZ6 corresponds to this protein, though its exact functional annotation remains under investigation .

Research Applications

While direct studies on At2g40250 are not detailed in the provided sources, its antibody is likely employed in:

• Protein Localization: Tracking spatial expression patterns in Arabidopsis tissues .

• Functional Genomics: Linking gene expression to phenotypic traits under stress or developmental conditions .

• Interaction Studies: Identifying binding partners via co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) .

Validation and Specificity Considerations

Commercial antibodies often face specificity challenges, as highlighted by studies on angiotensin II receptor antibodies . For At2g40250:

• Western Blot: Expected to detect a single band corresponding to the molecular weight of the target protein (~predicted via UniProt). Users must validate with knockout controls .

• Cross-Reactivity: No data provided; researchers should test against related Arabidopsis proteins to confirm selectivity .

Comparative Context

Similar antibodies in the same catalog (e.g., GLR3.6, GPAT1) are used to study ion channels and metabolic enzymes in Arabidopsis . This suggests At2g40250 may participate in analogous pathways, though functional data are pending.
