Gene Information

General description
MS4A8 (membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 8) gene encodes a protein belonging to the MS4A family of proteins that are characterized by common structural features and similar intron/exon splice boundaries. Their expression pattern is unique among hematopoietic cells and nonlymphoid tissues. The gene is localized to human chromosome 11q12.3 along with other members of the family. It is expressed in human differentiated intestinal epithelium and serves as a novel differentiation marker of the normal intestinal epithelium. Structurally, it consists of at least four potential transmembrane domains and N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic domains encoded by distinct exons.

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
MS4A8 (membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 8) gene is absent in human colon carcinoma and this helps in differentiating healthy tissue from neoplastic tissue. It modulates the transcriptome and increases the resistance to reactive oxygen species, thereby functioning in the maintenance of a physiological barrier function in the gut.
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.

CD20, the high-affinity IgE receptor beta chain (FcepsilonRIbeta), and HTm4 are structurally related cell surface proteins expressed by hematopoietic cells. Recently, 16 novel human and mouse genes were identified that encode new members of this nascent protein family that we

The CD20-homolog Ms4a8a has recently been shown to be a marker for alternatively activated macrophages but its expression is not restricted to hematopoietic cells. Here, MS4A8A/MS4A8B expression was detected in differentiated intestinal epithelium in mouse and human, respectively. Interestingly, no
