Gene Information

human ... LVRN(206338)

General description

Laeverin (LVRN), also called aminopeptidase Q, is a 120 kDa protein, which belongs to M1 family of aminopeptidases. It is a type II integral membrane protein with HEXXHX18E gluzincin motif. It is specifically expressed in extravillous trophoblast of placenta. The LVRN gene is localized on human chromosome 5q23.1.

Immunogen

laeverin

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

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. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Laeverin (LVRN) is crucial for human placentation and maintenance of pregnancy in humans. The catalytic pocket residue histidine at position 379, is crucial for its functionality. The glutamine residue at the 238 position, is essential for electrostatic interaction with substrate. It plays a key role in extravillous trophoblast migration. It is highly expressed in preeclamptic placenta and may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Features and Benefits

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.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
