Alpha 4 Antibody (C-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Alpha 4 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Alpha 4 is a cytoplasmic protein that plays a crucial role in regulating signal transduction by associating with the surface IgM receptor, thereby influencing the catalytic activity of type 2A-related serine/threonine phosphatases, specifically protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). This regulation helps maintain cellular homeostasis and signaling pathways essential for various cellular functions. Alpha 4 (C-5) antibody recognizes interactions with MID1, a protein linked to X-linked Opitz GBBB syndrome, where mutations can lead to developmental defects such as craniofacial, cardiac, and genital anomalies. The accumulation of PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) due to impaired E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of MID1 highlights Alpha 4′s importance in cellular regulation and disease pathology. Alpha 4 is predominantly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas tissues, and belongs to the IGBP1/TAP42 family, underscoring its significance in both normal physiology and disease states.
