Human GRN (Granulin) knockout HEK293T cell pellet (ab278941)

Overview

  • Product name

    Human GRN (Granulin) knockout HEK293T cell pellet
    See all Granulin kits

  • Product overview

    Abcam’s knockout cell pellets give you access to native proteins, without the need to culture cells. Our knockout cell pellets are prepared from our single-gene knockout cell lines and provide an additional offering to our cell lysates.

    Cells are snap-frozen to provide high quality pellets that are suitable for extraction with alternative lysis buffers or for preparation of lysates from subcellular fractions. Our knockout cell pellets are suitable for a variety of applications, including PCR, gene expression profiling and DNA library preparation.

Properties

Target

  • Function

    Granulins have possible cytokine-like activity. They may play a role in inflammation, wound repair, and tissue remodeling.
    Granulin-4 promotes proliferation of the epithelial cell line A431 in culture while granulin-3 acts as an antagonist to granulin-4, inhibiting the growth.

  • Tissue specificity

    In myelogenous leukemic cell lines of promonocytic, promyelocytic, and proerythroid lineage, in fibroblasts, and very strongly in epithelial cell lines. Present in inflammatory cells and bone marrow. Highest levels in kidney.

  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in GRN are the cause of ubiquitin-positive frontotemporal dementia (UP-FTD) [MIM:607485]; also known as tau-negative frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 17. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of dementia in people under the age of 65 years. It is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the granulin family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Granulins are disulfide bridged.

  • Cellular localization

    Secreted.

    ab208777 was shown to specifically react with Granulin in wild-type HEK293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266738 (knockout cell lysate ab257235) was used. Wild-type and Granulin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab208777 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated at room temperature for 2.5 hours at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
