General description

Anti-LY6K antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using protein array and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Lymphocyte antigen 6K (LY6K), a putative mouse glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein which associates with the unique germ-cell marker TEX101, is a cancer-testis antigen (CTA) that has been identified as a tumor marker and target for cancer vaccination against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). LY6K induces cell invasion and metastasis.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-LY6K antibody reacts with human lymphocyte antigen 6K.

Immunogen

Lymphocyte antigen 6K Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Rabbit polyclonal anti-LY6K antibody is used to tag lymphocyte antigen 6K for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques such as immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of lymphocyte antigen 6K in cell processes such as invasion and metastasis and as a cancer marker and antigen.

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.
