SPATA17 antibody detects Spermatogenesis-associated protein 17, encoded by the SPATA17 gene on chromosome 1p36.32. SPATA17 antibody is used in reproductive biology and apoptosis research. SPATA17 is a nuclear protein expressed mainly in testes, where it contributes to spermatogenesis, chromatin remodeling, and germ cell maturation. Outside the reproductive system, SPATA17 is implicated in apoptosis regulation, linking it to broader cellular homeostasis and disease mechanisms.
Structurally, SPATA17 is a ~43 kDa protein that localizes to the nucleus and mitochondria under stress conditions. It contains coiled-coil domains and nuclear localization signals, supporting its dual role in transcriptional regulation and apoptosis. Alternative isoforms may regulate tissue-specific expression and functions.
Functionally, SPATA17 participates in meiotic progression and germ cell differentiation. It promotes chromatin condensation in spermatids and has been reported to activate caspase-dependent apoptosis under stress, suggesting a quality-control role in germline maintenance. Researchers use SPATA17 antibody to study germ cell biology, testis development, and programmed cell death.
Clinically, SPATA17 expression correlates with male infertility, where altered protein levels disrupt spermatogenesis. Dysregulation has also been linked to certain cancers, including testicular and gastric cancer, where it may influence apoptosis. NSJ Bioreagents provides SPATA17 antibody to support research in fertility, cancer, and cell death pathways.
Experimentally, SPATA17 antibody is applied in western blotting to detect the ~43 kDa protein, in immunohistochemistry to study testis-specific expression, and in immunofluorescence to monitor nuclear and mitochondrial localization. Co-immunoprecipitation using SPATA17 antibody helps identify apoptotic signaling partners.
Optimal dilution of the SPATA17 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived human SPATA17 recombinant protein (Position: M1-Q338) was used as the immunogen for the SPATA17 antibody.
After reconstitution, the SPATA17 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
