THOC6 has emerged as a critical diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for glioma, a malignant brain tumor. Research indicates that THOC6 expression correlates strongly with glioma progression and poor patient outcomes . Key findings include:
| Pathway | P-value (adjusted) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IL-17 signaling pathway | 0.034 | Regulates immune responses and inflammation |
| Rho GTPase signaling | 0.011 | Controls cytoskeleton dynamics and migration |
| DNA repair | 0.017 | Maintains genomic stability |
| Extracellular matrix | 0.011 | Modulates tumor microenvironment |
Biotinylated antibodies, including the THOC6-specific variant, are widely used in immunodetection assays due to their compatibility with streptavidin/avidin-based systems. Key advantages include:
Signal amplification: Multiple biotin molecules on secondary antibodies enhance sensitivity in techniques like Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) .
Versatility: Biotinylated antibodies are compatible with enzymatic (e.g., HRP-streptavidin) or fluorescent (e.g., Alexa Fluor-streptavidin) detection systems .
This antibody is primarily employed in glioma-related research and diagnostics. Example applications include:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Detects THOC6 protein in tumor tissue sections to assess prognosis .
Western blotting: Validates THOC6 expression levels in glioma cell lines (e.g., U87 MG) .
Flow cytometry: Monitors THOC6 expression in immune-infiltrated glioma cells .

Diagnostic accuracy: ROC curve analysis shows THOC6 has an AUC of 0.915 for glioma diagnosis, indicating high specificity .
Therapeutic potential: Molecular docking studies suggest THOC6 interacts with glioma drugs like temozolomide (docking energy: −7.1 kcal/mol) .
Immune infiltration: High THOC6 expression correlates with increased infiltration of neutrophils and dendritic cells in glioblastoma (GBM) .
