Gene Information

human ... TMPRSS4(56649)

General description

TMPRSS4 protein belongs to the hepsin/TMPRSS family. It comprises a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of 32 amino acids, a signal anchor, a catalytic protease domain, a single low-density lipoprotein receptor A (LDLA) domain, and group A scavenger receptor domain at its stem region. The TMPRSS4 gene is mapped to the human chromosome 11q23.3.

Immunogen

Transmembrane protease, serine 4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-TMPRSS4 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunocytochemical staining (1:20).
Anti-TMPRSS4 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 immunofluorescence, western blotting and immunocytochemical staining (1:20) dilution. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TMPRSS4 regulates cell-matrix adhesion and cell spreading by modulating integrins, like α5β1. This is further involved in cell motility and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). 

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.
