CEP41 (TSGA14) Antibody - FFPE Validated

Protein Function

This antibody supports efforts to investigate CEP41 and interpret it within interaction networks. CEP41 is a trafficking-related component that can localize to basal bodies and ciliary axonemes. Many projects interpret this target alongside interacting partners, upstream cues, and downstream readouts.

In some datasets and protocols, it is referenced by the gene symbol TSGA14.

Experimental Applications

Because cilia length and assembly can vary, experimental design often benefits from standardized culture timing. Considering complex membership and compartment shifts can clarify whether changes reflect signaling or redistribution.

Many workflows benefit from tracking both signal intensity and compartment distribution, especially when the target participates in multi-protein assemblies.

Common experimental questions that benefit from target tracking include:

• co-occurrence with intraflagellar transport markers
• changes in cilia incidence or apparent length in perturbation studies
• signal enrichment at basal bodies versus cytoplasm

Workflow Perspective

For paraffin-embedded samples, fixation history and retrieval strategy matter; this option is aligned to those constraints. To keep comparisons consistent, align sample preparation steps and define a clear baseline for each series. If interactions are a focus, consider parallel readouts for key partners.

To support downstream analysis, record key context variables (culture timing, stimulation window, and extraction approach) so CEP41 patterns can be compared across experiments without guesswork.

The fixed-section option supports mechanistic reading of CEP41 when interactions and context are the focus.
