Gene Information
human ... PLAA(9373)
General description
The gene PLAA (phospholipase A-2-activating protein) is mapped to human chromosome 9p21. The protein contains seven-bladed WD40 (β-transducin) β-propeller, a central PFU (PLAA family ubiquitin binding) domain and a PUL (PLAP, Ufd3p, and Lub1p) domain. PLAA is also referred to as PLAP.

Phospholipase A-2-activating protein recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
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
PLAA (phospholipase A-2-activating protein) interacts with ubiquitin and is responsible for maintaining ubiquitin levels. It interacts with p97 and participates in transfer of ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome. PLAA controls production of prostaglandins (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL (interleukin)-6. Additionally, PLAA participates in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, vesicle formation, and DNA damage response.
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:
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.

Ubiquitin (Ub) is an essential modifier conserved in all eukaryotes from yeast to human. Phospholipase A(2)-activating protein (PLAA), a mammalian homolog of yeast DOA1/UFD3, has been proposed to be able to bind with Ub, which plays important roles in endoplasmic

PLAA (ortholog of yeast Doa1/Ufd3, also know as human PLAP or phospholipase A2-activating protein) has been implicated in a variety of disparate biological processes that involve the ubiquitin system. It is linked to the maintenance of ubiquitin levels, but the

Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2))-activating protein (PLAA) is a novel signaling molecule that regulates the production of prostaglandins (PGE(2)) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. To characterize the function of native PLAA in situ, we generated HeLa (Tet-off) cells overexpressing plaa (plaa(high)) and
