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
The gene ALOX15 encodes a non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase called as arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase. It encodes the type 1 isozyme of 15-Lipoxygenase. The enzyme catalyzes the oxygenation of free fatty acids and fatty acids bound to membrane phospholipids. The reaction converts arachidonic acid to 12- and 15-HETE (hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid). The gene has been associated with the development of asthma, arthritis, and atherosclerosis. Polymorphism in this gene has been implicated as a determinant of bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and may serve as a marker for osteoporosis. The enzyme may play a role in inflammation.
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.

The reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase-1 (ALOX15) has antiinflammatory and inflammatory effects, and is implicated in the development of asthma, arthritis, and atherosclerosis. We screened the human ALOX15 gene for variations because genetic variability in ALOX15 may influence these diseases. We detected 11
