DSBs are repaired by an end joining mechanism or by homologous recombination (HR).

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) bind to fatty acids and other lipids and function as cytoplasmic lipid chaperones (1,2). They participate in the transport of fatty acids and other lipids to various cellular pathways (2). Research studies have shown that common variants of the human liver FABP gene FABP1 play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance (3).

The processes of fatty acid and lipid metabolism are vital for cellular nutrient and energy maintenance. Cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA synthetase (AceCS1) catalyzes the conversion of acetate and CoA to acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA synthesized by AceCS1 is used for fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis (1,2).

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a widely expressed cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase involved in integrin-mediated signal transduction. It plays an important role in the control of several biological processes, including cell spreading, migration, and survival. Activation of FAK by integrin clustering leads to autophosphorylation at Tyr397, which is a binding site for the Src family kinases PI3K and PLCγ.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a three-dimensional macromolecular network composed of collagens, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, elastin, fibronectin, laminins, along with many other proteins and glycoproteins. This network of macromolecules provides a dynamic microenvironment that supports cell and tissue function, and undergoes continuous remodeling during both normal development and disease.

Exosomes are membrane-wrapped extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a diameter of approximately 40-160 nm, possessing a lipid bilayer structure. They are naturally present in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and the supernatant of cultured cells in vitro, and almost all types of cells can produce and release exosomes.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Secretory and transmembrane proteins are synthesized on polysomes and translocate into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they are often modified by the formation of disulfide bonds, amino-linked glycosylation and folding. The ER contains a pool of molecular chaperone proteins including calnexin, BiP and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI).

Estrogen receptor α (ERα), a member of the steroid receptor superfamily, contains highly conserved DNA binding and ligand binding domains. Through its estrogen-independent and estrogen-dependent activation domains (Estrogen receptor αAF-1 and AF-2, respectively), ERα regulates transcription by recruiting coactivator proteins and interacting with general transcriptional machinery. Phosphorylation at multiple sites provides an important mechanism to regulate ERα activity.

The top 100 antibodies in the 2024 antibody market dataset are ranked based on antibody citation analysis. They provide a unique and quantified panoramic view of the antibody market and serve as an important reference in the field of antibody research and application.

Epitope Tag Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunostaining techniques. Because of their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties.
