Gene Information

General description

Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is a single-pass type II membrane protein present in endosomal and lysosomal membranes, and is highly expressed in the frontal cortex. Increased TMEM106B expression in the brain may be linked to mechanisms of disease in frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) inclusions (FTLD-TDP). Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is the second most common cause of presenile dementia.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the N-terminus of TMEM106B.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
Recombinant protein corresponding to the N-terminus of human TMEM106B.

Application

Anti-TMEM106B, clone TME-N 6F2 detects levels of TMEM106B proteins & has been published & validated for use in WB & IF.
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected TMEM106B in rat cerebellum tissue.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurodegenerative Diseases

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in human cortex tissue lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected TMEM106B in 10 µg of human cortex tissue lysate.

Target description

~30 kDa observed (At higher antibody concentrations, this protein may be observed at ~45 kDa). This protein may be observed at ~50 kDa due to glycosylation (Lang, C. M., et al. (2012). J Biol Chem. 287(23):19355-19365.).

TMEM106B was identified as a major risk factor in a genome-wide association study for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP)-43 pathology. The most significant association of TMEM106B single nucleotide polymorphisms with risk of FTLD-TDP was observed in

TMEM106B is a major risk factor for frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology. TMEM106B localizes to lysosomes, but its function remains unclear. We show that TMEM106B knockdown in primary neurons affects lysosomal trafficking and blunts dendritic arborization. We identify microtubule-associated
