What Is the Expected GGH Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 36 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
36 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.
36 kDa calculatedUse as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band.
Unexpected additional signalDo not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls.
💡Expected GGH appearancePlan around 36 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band36 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass36 kDa from UniProt Q92820; retain as context.
Gel selection12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity checkCompare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A03161-2.
Why is my band missing or off?
SituationLikely causeNext action
36 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 GGH Western blot

🧪Use Breast as the first positive-control candidate; no defensible HPA Not detected tissue was available, so use a target knockdown/knockout negative control.
Positive control: Breast (High)
Negative control: Target knockdown/knockout
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Advanced GGH Western Blot Tips

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

Which band should guide the blot?
Use 36 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A03161-2 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 36 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
Start with Breast, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.
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 GGH Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A03161-2 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.
