What Is the Expected AVPR1A Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 46.8 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
46.8 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.
46.8 kDa calculatedUse as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band.
Unexpected additional signalDo not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls.
💡Expected AVPR1A appearancePlan around 46.8 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band46.8 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass46.8 kDa from UniProt P37288; retain as context.
Gel selection12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity checkCompare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A03279.
Why is my band missing or off?
SituationLikely causeNext action
46.8 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record.
Additional bandMay reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal.Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls.
Weak signalTarget abundance or transfer may be limiting.Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure.

Sample controls for AVPR1A Western blot

🧪No defensible HPA positive control was available; do not invent one.
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Undetected expression · recommended negative controls

The Human Protein Atlas exposes no structured IHC tissue profile for AVPR1A, so tissue-level positive/negative controls cannot be listed here. Use a documented AVPR1A-positive lysate (recombinant AVPR1A or a known-expressing line) as the positive control and a AVPR1A knockdown/knockout lysate as the negative control; confirm against the antibody datasheet.

Advanced AVPR1A Western Blot Tips

Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for AVPR1A, answered from its protein features.

Which band should guide the blot?
Use 46.8 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A03279 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 46.8 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
No defensible positive tissue was supplied; do not invent one.
Which negative control is defensible?
Use a target knockdown/knockout control when no HPA Not detected tissue is available.
Which gel should I use?
Use 12-15% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for AVPR1A Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A03279 be started?
Start at the linked datasheet condition and run a three-point primary-antibody dilution test.
Which publication-derived protocols can I compare?
No verified publication protocol was supplied; use only the deterministic recommended protocol.
