Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-AKAP4 antibody [EPR21123] (AB230954)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human testis tissue labeling AKAP4 with ab230954 at 1/2000 dilution, followed by a ready to use Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) secondary antibody. Positive staining in spermatids of human testis (PMID : 19139142) is observed. Counterstained with hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is a ready to use Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP).
Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0).

Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-AKAP4 antibody [EPR21123] (AB230954)
Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded Human testis tissue. Panel A : Merged staining of anti-AKAP4 (magenta; Opal™690), anti-TPTE (green; Opal™520) and anti-IGF2BP1/IMP1 (red; Opal™570) on human testis. Panel B : Anti-IGF2BP1/IMP1 stained on spermatogonia. Panel C : Anti-TPTE stained on spermatocytes. Panel D : Anti-AKAP4 stained on spermatids. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab238887, ab250148, and ab290736 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20 mins. Counterstained with DAPI.

Biological function summary
AKAP4 plays a critical role in sperm motility and flagellar function. It is a part of the fibrous sheath of the sperm tail contributing to structural integrity and regulation of flagellar activity. As a scaffolding protein it forms complexes with PKA and other enzymes like phosphodiesterases which are important for intracellular calcium signaling and energy metabolism in sperm cells. This positioning helps coordinate the cAMP signaling process necessary for sperm motility and capacitation.
Pathways
AKAP4 significantly influences the cAMP-dependent signaling pathway. This pathway is essential to regulate ATP production and other metabolic activities within the sperm ensuring their energy demands are met during motility and fertilization processes. Another related protein is AKAP3 which collaborates with AKAP4 in organizing these metabolic modules within the sperm fibrous sheath synergizing their structural and functional contributions to sperm physiology.
