Gene Information

human ... PAPPA2(60676)

General description

The gene pappalysin-2 (PAPPA2) is mapped to human chromosome 1q25.2. PAPPA2 is abundantly expressed in the placenta and non-pregnant mammary gland with low expression in the kidney, fetal brain and pancreas. Two variants of the protein exist due to alternative splicing of the mRNA. The longer variant is targeted to the nucleus and the shorter is secreted extracellularly.

Immunogen

Pappalysin-2 precursor 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

Pappalysin-2 (PAPPA2) is responsible for cleavage of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-5. PAPPA2 is up-regulated early in pregnancies that develop preeclampsia. This up-regulation is mediated via increased placental hypoxia and/or tumor necrosis factor-α level. Single nucleotide polymorphism in PAPPA2 is associated with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

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.

Severe early onset pre-eclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication, believed to arise as a result of persistent placental hypoxia due to impaired placentation. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPPA2) is very highly expressed in the placenta relative to all other tissues.

Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 21(6), 754-760 (2013-12-18)
Recent studies have consistently found pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPP-A2) to be upregulated in preeclamptic placentae at term. We tested whether first-trimester circulating PAPP-A2 levels differed between complicated and uncomplicated pregnancies. We measured maternal PAPP-A2 levels at 10 to 14

Graphene-like material such as functionalized carboxyl-graphene oxide (carboxyl-GO) can be intelligently tuned to achieve particular properties for biological and chemical sensing applications. In this study, we propose a method to improve interference of non-specific proteins for use in human plasma
