PME24 Antibody
Description
Target Overview
PXMP4 (Peroxisomal Membrane Protein 4), also known as PMP24, is a 24 kDa integral membrane protein localized to peroxisomes. It plays roles in peroxisome biogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and reactive oxygen species metabolism .
Research Applications
-
Western Blot: Detects endogenous PXMP4 in human and monkey samples .
-
Functional Studies: PXMP4 is implicated in peroxisomal disorders and metabolic pathways, though direct studies using this antibody remain limited in published literature.
Target Overview
PMEL (Premelanosome Protein), also called gp100 or PMEL17, is a melanocyte-specific glycoprotein critical for melanosome maturation and amyloid fibril formation. Mutations in PMEL correlate with pigmentation disorders .
a. Anti-PMEL (G11B)
-
Applications: Flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blot.
-
Specificity: Binds PMEL on melanoma cell surfaces without cross-reactivity to GPNMB or LAMP .
b. Anti-PMEL (HMB45)
-
Applications: IHC, WB, ELISA.
-
Specificity: Recognizes melanomas and melanocytic differentiation markers .
Key Research Findings
-
Amyloidogenesis: PMEL’s N-terminal region (residues 77–90) is essential for fibril formation. Mutations (e.g., F84A, F90A) disrupt trafficking and fibrillogenesis .
-
Therapeutic Potential: PMEL is explored as a target for antibody-drug conjugates in pigmentary diseases due to its melanocyte-specific expression .
Comparative Analysis of PMP24 and PMEL Antibodies
Discussion
While "PME24 Antibody" is not a standard designation, the above analysis clarifies two plausible candidates:
-
Anti-PMP24 (PXMP4): A peroxisomal protein antibody with limited but specific research applications.
-
Anti-PMEL (gp100): A well-characterized antibody targeting melanosomal pathways, with therapeutic relevance in oncology and dermatology.
