IHC (Immunohistochemistry)
(TECTA was detected in paraffin-embedded sections of human testis tissues using rabbit anti- TECTA Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 1ug/mL. The immunohistochemical section was developed using SABC method.)
IHC (Immunohistochemistry)
(TECTA was detected in paraffin-embedded sections of human lung cancer tissues using rabbit anti- TECTA Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 1ug/mL. The immunohistochemical section was developed using SABC method.)
IHC (Immunohistochemistry)
(TECTA was detected in paraffin-embedded sections of human intetsinal cancer tissues using rabbit anti- TECTA Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 1ug/mL. The immunohistochemical section was developed using SABC method.)
WB (Western Blot)
(Western blot analysis of TECTA expression in rat testis extract (lane 1), HEPA1-6 whole cell lysates (lane 2) and HEPG2 whole cell lysates (lane 3). TECTA at 239KD was detected using rabbit anti- TECTA Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5ug/mL. The blot was developed using chemiluminescence (ECL) method.)
Background: Alpha-tectorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TECTA gene. The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness.
