Designing a Western blot for POT1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the POT1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Protection of telomeres protein 1.
Also functions as a single-stranded telomeric DNA-binding protein and so may function as a downstream effector of the TRF1 complex and might transduce information about telomere maintenance and/or span to the telomere terminus. Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) which is involved in the regulation of telomere length and protection.
