Western blot analysis of TMC6 using anti-TMC6 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel at 80V (Stacking gel) / 120V (Resolving gel) for 2 hours. Lane 1: human K562 whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human HEL whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human RT4 whole cell lysates, Lane 4: human THP-1 whole cell lysates, Lane 5: rat thymus tissue lysates, Lane 6: rat lung tissue lysates, Lane 7: mouse thymus tissue lysates, Lane 8: mouse lung tissue lysates. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-TMC6 antibody at 0.5 ug/ml overnight at 4oC, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal was developed using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate. TMC6 (EVER1, ~90 kDa predicted) was detected as doublets at ~100 and ~95 kDa, and additional ~85 kDa species in human cells, consistent with N-linked glycosylation, phosphorylation, and isoform variation. In mouse and rat tissues, a single ~100 kDa band predominated, reflecting the mature glycosylated form.

Description

The TMC6 antibody targets Transmembrane channel-like protein 6, a multipass membrane protein encoded by the TMC6 gene. Also known as EVER1, this protein is involved in zinc homeostasis and antiviral defense, particularly in epithelial and keratinocyte cells. Transmembrane channel-like protein 6 forms a complex with TMC8 (EVER2) to regulate intracellular zinc distribution, influencing transcriptional activity and immune responses. The TMC6 antibody provides a reliable reagent for studying epithelial immunity, metal ion regulation, and susceptibility to viral infection.

Transmembrane channel-like protein 6 is localized mainly to the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope, where it contributes to the regulation of zinc-dependent transcription factors. The TMC6 antibody supports localization and expression analyses that reveal how zinc flux affects keratinocyte differentiation and immune signaling. Through its partnership with TMC8, it restricts viral replication, particularly for human papillomaviruses (HPVs), by maintaining proper zinc balance within the nucleus.

Mutations in TMC6 cause Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), a rare genodermatosis characterized by chronic HPV infection and increased skin cancer risk. The TMC6 antibody supports studies of this disease by enabling detection of protein loss or mislocalization in affected tissues. Lack of functional Transmembrane channel-like protein 6 disrupts zinc homeostasis, leading to impaired immune defense against HPV and uncontrolled keratinocyte proliferation. This discovery has highlighted TMC6 as a crucial host factor for viral resistance in epithelial tissues.

Beyond antiviral defense, Transmembrane channel-like protein 6 influences immune cell signaling and skin barrier function. The TMC6 antibody aids in quantifying these effects, revealing how altered zinc regulation impacts inflammation and epidermal differentiation. Its expression is highest in stratified epithelia but may also occur in immune cells and other tissues involved in zinc transport and immune surveillance.

The TMC6 antibody is validated for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, providing distinct perinuclear staining consistent with endoplasmic reticulum localization. NSJ Bioreagents provides this antibody with validated specificity and performance for dermatological and immunological research. By supporting detailed examination of Transmembrane channel-like protein 6, the TMC6 antibody advances understanding of host defense, zinc metabolism, and mechanisms underlying susceptibility to viral infections and skin cancer.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the TMC6 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Immunogen

E.coli-derived human TMC6 recombinant protein (Position: M1-H772) was used as the immunogen for the TMC6 antibody.

Storage

After reconstitution, the TMC6 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
