Thymosin beta-10 (UniProt: P63313) is a 43-amino-acid protein regulating actin polymerization by sequestering G-actin monomers . Antibodies targeting TMSB10, such as ab14338 (Abcam) and AF6429 (R&D Systems), are polyclonal reagents validated for applications including ELISA and Western blot .
Key Features:
TMEM106B (UniProt: Q9NUM4) is a lysosomal transmembrane protein linked to neurodegenerative disorders. Antibodies targeting its C-terminal fragments (CTFs), such as residues 188–211 or 239–250, detect pathological aggregates in aging brains .
A 2023 study validated six commercial TMEM106B antibodies :
| Antibody (RRID) | Clonality | Host | Validated Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| ab244516 (AB_2924268) | Polyclonal | Rabbit | Immunofluorescence (IF) |
| 93334 (AB_2924267) | Recombinant | Rabbit | WB, IP, IF |
| PA5-63558 (AB_2648556) | Polyclonal | Rabbit | IF |
Antibody 93334 (clone E7H7Z) demonstrated superior performance in Western blot and immunoprecipitation .
The polyclonal antibody targeting residues 188–211 showed strong affinity for TMEM106B CTFs in neurodegenerative brain tissues .
Overexpressed in gliomas and testicular carcinomas (detected via AF6429 in C6 and NTera-2 cell lines) .
Regulates tumor angiogenesis by blocking actin polymerization in endothelial cells .
CTF-specific antibodies (e.g., residues 188–211) identified pathological aggregates in 80% of frontotemporal dementia cases .
