Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: HEK-293 cells, mouse kidney tissue
• Positive IHC detected in: human kidney tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0
• Positive IF/ICC detected in: hTERT-RPE1 cells

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:500-1:4000

Background Information

BBS4 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome protein 4) is one of the early BBS proteins discovered, with 35 mutations reported to cause the BBS phenotype (PMID: 26762677). BBS4 undergoes localization to the centriolar satellites of centrosomes and basal body of primary cilia, where it takes part in recruiting cargo to centriolar satellites and allowing the formation of a functional centrosomal microtubule organizing center (MTOC) (PMID: 25860617). Some research has found that BBS4 expression in humans during the development of CNS and sensory organs, concerning the cardinal clinical signs of BBS (PMID: 33860840).
