Description

2.1. Generation and Validation

Recombinant mouse Opal1 is produced via transfection in mammalian systems (e.g., HEK-293 cells) for functional assays. Key validation steps include:

  • Flow Cytometry: Anti-OPAL1 monoclonal antibodies (e.g., OPAL1-01) enable intracellular detection .

  • Western Blot: Specific antibodies confirm protein identity and purity .

2.2. Knockout Mouse Studies

Wbp1l<sup>−/−</sup> mice reveal critical roles in hematopoiesis and immune cell regulation:

Phenotypic FeatureWbp1l<sup>−/−</sup> vs. Wild-TypeCitation
Splenic Marginal Zone B CellsIncreased frequency
Peritoneal B1 CellsReduced frequency
Splenic Dendritic CellsIncreased frequency
Bone Marrow HematopoiesisImpaired CXCR4 signaling

These findings suggest Opal1 regulates CXCR4-mediated bone marrow homing and lymphoid subset homeostasis .

3.1. Signaling Pathways

  • CXCR4 Regulation: Opal1 deficiency disrupts CXCR4 signaling, critical for hematopoietic stem cell retention in bone marrow .

  • Drug Resistance: Low OPAL1 expression in human ALL does not correlate with resistance to prednisolone, vincristine, or daunorubicin .

3.2. Prognostic Relevance

While mouse studies focus on mechanistic roles, human data show:

  • High OPAL1 mRNA associates with TEL-AML1 fusion (2.8-fold increase) and favorable outcomes in pediatric ALL .

  • No independent prognostic value in multivariate analyses across COALL and St Jude cohorts .

4.1. Antibody Development

  • OPAL1-01 (PE-conjugated): Used for intracellular flow cytometry in human and mouse cells .

  • Epitope: Targets the C-terminal region (amino acids 150–end) .

4.2. Experimental Protocols

  • Transfection Models: HEK-293 cells transfected with OPAL1 serve to study protein localization and interactions .

  • Knockout Strategies: Wbp1l<sup>−/−</sup> mice employ Cre-LoxP and FLP-FRT systems for conditional deletion .

Unresolved Questions and Future Directions

  • Mechanistic Role: The exact molecular function of Opal1 in mitochondrial or signaling pathways remains unclear .

  • Therapeutic Potential: Whether modulating Opal1 expression influences leukemia progression or treatment resistance warrants investigation .

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference during order placement for fulfillment based on your requirements.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please contact your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs unless dry ice shipping is specifically requested. Please contact us in advance for dry ice shipping; additional fees will apply.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Before opening, briefly centrifuge the vial to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50% and can be used as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on various factors, including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability.
Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized formulations have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is essential for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
