Real Curated KLC1 Western Blot Protocols
Start with the molecular-weight rule, then compare verified publication-derived conditions.
| Sample / lysate | Adipose tissue |
| Gel % | 12-15% |
| Load | 20-30 µg total protein per lane |
| Transfer | Semi-dry, standard transfer |
| Membrane | 0.45 µm PVDF |
| Blocking | 5% non-fat milk or 5% BSA in TBST |
| Primary | A04116-2 at datasheet starting dilution |
| Primary incubation | Overnight at 4 °C with gentle agitation |
| Secondary | Species-matched HRP conjugate at validated dilution |
| Wash | 3 × 5 min in TBST |
| Detection | Chemiluminescent substrate |
| Exposure | Bracket exposures to avoid saturation |

What Is the Expected KLC1 Western Blot Band Size?
Use the product-observed 65.3 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.
| 65.3 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. |
| 65.3 kDa calculated | Use as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band. |
| Unexpected additional signal | Do not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls. |
💡Expected KLC1 appearancePlan around 65.3 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
| Catalog-observed band | 65.3 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation. |
| Calculated mass | 65.3 kDa from UniProt Q07866; retain as context. |
| Gel selection | 12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster. |
| Specificity check | Compare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A04116-2. |
| Situation | Likely cause | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| 65.3 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. | Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record. |
| Additional band | May reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal. | Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls. |
| Weak signal | Target abundance or transfer may be limiting. | Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure. |

Sample controls for KLC1 Western blot
🧪Use Adipose tissue as the first positive-control candidate and retain an orthogonal negative control.
Positive control: Adipose tissue (Not detected)
Negative control: Adipose tissue (Not detected)
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.
HPA tissue expression evidence for KLC1

Positive expression · recommended positive controls
| Tissue | Cell type | Level | Evidence | Source |
|---|
Undetected expression · recommended negative controls
The Human Protein Atlas exposes no structured IHC tissue profile for KLC1, so tissue-level positive/negative controls cannot be listed here. Use a documented KLC1-positive lysate (recombinant KLC1 or a known-expressing line) as the positive control and a KLC1 knockdown/knockout lysate as the negative control; confirm against the antibody datasheet.
| Tissue | Cell type | Level | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adipose tissue | Reported tissue cells | Not detected | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Breast | Reported tissue cells | Not detected | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Adrenal gland | Reported tissue cells | Not detected | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Appendix | Reported tissue cells | Not detected | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |

Advanced KLC1 Western Blot Tips
Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for KLC1, answered from its protein features.
Which band should guide the blot?
Use 65.3 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A04116-2 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 65.3 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
Start with Adipose tissue, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.
Which negative control is defensible?
Use Adipose tissue as an orthogonal HPA Not detected candidate.
Which gel should I use?
Use 12-15% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for KLC1 Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A04116-2 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.
