ANTI-PDZK1IP1

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ PDZK1IP1 (PDZK1 interacting protein 1) is a non-glycosylated membrane protein, which resides in the plasma membrane and Golgi bodies. It has a hydrophobic N-terminal of 13 residues, making the PDZ-binding domain, and two transmembrane regions. The molecular weight of this protein is 17kDa, and is expressed significantly only in normal kidney, in the proximal tubular epithelial cells._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ PDZK1-interacting protein 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)_x000D_ Application_x000D_ All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry._x000D_ The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

LLC_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ PDZK1IP1 (PDZK1 interacting protein 1) acts as an anchor for PDZK1 (PDZ domain containing 1) protein, and in renal proximal tubules interacts with NaPi-IIa/PDZK1 comlex. In human cancer cells, it facilitates the Na-dependent transport of mannose and glucose, by interacting with SGLT transporters. Amplification of mRNA leads to its elevated levels in multiple human tumors, and this relates with tumor progression, as seen in breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. Overexpression of this gene in tumors is associated with good prognosis. This protein induces PI3K/AKT pathway, which leads to prevention of Myc-induced apoptosis. Its PDZ-binding domain is responsible for its capacity to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn is implicated in tumorigenesis._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section._x000D_ Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:_x000D_ • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues._x000D_ • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments._x000D_ • Validated for multiple commonly used applications such as IHC (Immunohistochemistry), IF (Immunofluorescence), and WB (Western Blot)_x000D_ Linkage_x000D_ Corresponding Antigen APREST72299.
