Background Information
Protein tyrosine phosphatase-interacting protein 51 (PTPIP51),also known as RMDN3, is a mitochondrial membrane-anchored protein that interacts with ER membrane-bound VAPB. The VAPB-PTPIP51 interaction impacts on intracellular Ca2+ handling (PMID: 22131369, 28345618). PTPIP51 participates in multiple cellular processes, and dysfunction of PTPIP51 is implicated in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders (PMID: 28345618). The known initiation sites in the Ptpip51 gene would lead to molecular protein masses of 52, 38 and 30 kDa (PMID: 18854601,19844996).

Reviews
What customers say
One reviewer (Tom Ryan, March 2021) rated this antibody 4 out of 5 stars for immunofluorescence on Cos7 cells using a 1/100 dilution. The protocol involved 4% PFA fixation, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilization, and 1% BSA blocking, with mitochondria co-labeled using TOMM20. The primary antibody was incubated for 1 hour. The reviewer provided an image showing clear mitochondrial staining, indicating good performance under these conditions.
