What Is the Expected PLA2G6 Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 89.9 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
89.9 kDa	Matches the authoritative product WB observation.
89.9 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 PLA2G6 appearancePlan around 89.9 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.

How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band	89.9 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass	89.9 kDa from UniProt O60733; retain as context.
Gel selection	8-10%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity check	Compare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A01648-1.

Why is my band missing or off?
Situation	Likely cause	Next action
89.9 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 PLA2G6 Western blot

🧪Use Esophagus as the first positive-control candidate and Skeletal muscle as the HPA Not detected negative candidate.

Positive control: Esophagus (High)

Negative control: Skeletal muscle (Not detected)

HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Advanced PLA2G6 Western Blot Tips

Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for PLA2G6, answered from its protein features.

Which band should guide the blot?

Use 89.9 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A01648-1 WB record.

How should calculated mass be interpreted?

Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 89.9 kDa expectation.

Which positive control should I start with?

Start with Esophagus, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.

Which negative control is defensible?

Use Skeletal muscle as an orthogonal HPA Not detected candidate.

Which gel should I use?

Use 8-10% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.

What transfer method to use for PLA2G6 Western blot?

Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.

How should A01648-1 be started?

Start at the linked datasheet condition and run a three-point primary-antibody dilution test.

Which publication-derived protocols can I compare?

Compare only the supplied target-verified records: PMC1868772, PMC7654334, PMC8948425.
