At2g36240 Antibody

Target Protein Characteristics

Gene: AT2G36240
UniProt ID: Q9SJN2
Species: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Protein Type: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Function: PPR proteins are RNA-binding factors critical for organellar RNA editing, splicing, and stability .

Mitochondrial RNA Processing

• AT2G36240 localizes to mitochondria and participates in RNA editing, as demonstrated by immunolocalization studies .

• PPR proteins like AT2G36240 facilitate RNA-protein interactions essential for organellar gene expression .

Plant Development Studies

• Arabidopsis mutants lacking functional AT2G36240 exhibit developmental defects, linking this protein to embryogenesis and stress responses .

Limitations & Considerations

• No peer-reviewed studies directly using this antibody were identified in the surveyed literature, suggesting it remains a niche tool.

• Validation data (e.g., western blot bands, immunohistochemical images) are not publicly disclosed in the reviewed sources .

Future Directions

• Characterize AT2G36240’s role in mitochondrial-nuclear signaling.

• Investigate its interaction partners via co-immunoprecipitation assays.
