Activity summary

Flotillin 1 also known as flotillin-1 or flot-1 functions as a major scaffolding protein in lipid rafts which are specialized membrane microdomains. It has a molecular weight of approximately 47 kDa facilitating protein interactions within the cell membrane. Flotillin 1 localizes primarily to non-caveolar lipid rafts and is expressed widely across various tissue types. High expression levels occur in brain tissue contributing to its recognition as an important element within neuronal membranes.

Biological function summary

Flotillin-1 participates in vesicle trafficking and endocytosis by forming a complex with its counterpart flotillin-2. This complex stabilizes membrane microdomains and assists in signaling pathways. Flotillin-1 plays a significant role in cell adhesion migration and cytoskeleton organization by interacting with actin and other cytoskeletal proteins. By doing so it influences cellular processes related to membrane shaping and intracellular transport.

Pathways

Flotillin-1 integrates into the MAPK signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway which are critical for cell differentiation and proliferation. It interacts with several proteins including caveolin-1 that have known roles in these pathways. These interactions help modulate signaling cascades providing necessary cellular responses to various extracellular stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

Flotillin-1 has associations with Alzheimer's disease and various cancers. In Alzheimer's disease it interacts with amyloid precursor protein influencing amyloid-beta production and deposition. In cancer altered expression levels of flotillin-1 affect tumor cell adhesion and migration with its interactions impacting the expression of proteins like E-cadherin which is associated with cancer metastasis and progression. Understanding these interactions offers potential insights for developing therapeutic strategies.

    Western blot - Anti-Flotillin 1 antibody (ab41927)

    Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
    Lane 2: Flotillin 1 knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)

    Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab41927 observed at 47 kDa. Red - loading control, Anti-GAPDH antibody [mAbcam 9484] - Loading Control ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

    ab41927 was shown to specifically react with Flotillin 1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in Flotillin 1 knockout cells. Wild-type and Flotillin 1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab41927 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [mAbcam 9484] - Loading Control ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

    ICC/IF image of ab41927 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab41927 at 1μg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti- rabbit (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96899) IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.
