Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, which play a critical role in cellular function. Each organelle contains specific proteins that determine their function. Antibodies to detect those proteins or organelle-selective dyes are essential tools that help orient and outline each organelle. In addition, multiple antibodies and dyes can be used in combination to confirm the correct location and specificity of the proteins being studied. Knowledge of the subcellular location of a protein can help elucidate the role or roles it may play in any number of cellular processes.
