| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Target | POT1 (UniProt: Q9NUX5) |
| Host Species | Mouse |
| Applications | Western blotting |
| Observed Molecular Weight | ~60 kDa |
| Validation | Detected in HeLa (cervical carcinoma) and HL-60 (leukemia) cell lines |
Target: Tetraspanin-12 (Tspan12), a regulator of β-catenin signaling in vascular development.
Therapeutic Role:
Inhibits pathological angiogenesis in retinopathy.
Enhances efficacy of anti-VEGF therapies (e.g., Aflibercept) in combinatorial approaches.
Mechanism: Blocks Tspan12/β-catenin signaling, reducing abnormal blood vessel growth without retinal toxicity.
Fab Region: Binds antigens via variable domains (VH/VL).
Fc Region: Mediates immune effector functions (e.g., complement activation, opsonization).
Dual Functionality: Neutralization of pathogens + activation of immune responses.
If "POT12 Antibody" refers to a novel or less-studied target, additional context or corrected nomenclature is required to align with published research. Current data suggest potential confusion with POT1 or Tspan12, both of which are validated targets in oncology and ophthalmology, respectively. For authoritative guidance, consult primary literature or antibody databases (e.g., UniProt, R&D Systems) using precise identifiers.
Here’s a curated collection of FAQs for researchers working with POT12 Antibody, structured to address both foundational and advanced academic research needs. The questions are informed by methodological best practices and antibody research principles from peer-reviewed studies:
Troubleshooting framework:
| Factor | Western Blot | Flow Cytometry |
|---|---|---|
| Epitope conformation | Linear (denatured) | Native (3D structure) |
| Sample processing | Reducing buffer required | Non-denaturing conditions |
| Fixation artifacts | Low risk | High risk (methanol/PFA) |
Solution: Re-test with alternative fixation methods (e.g., paraformaldehyde vs. acetone) and confirm epitope accessibility via peptide blocking assays .
