General description

VPS13A (Vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog A, S. cerevisiae) encodes a 360kDa protein referred to as chorein. It is a member of VPS13 protein family and located on chromosome 9q21. It consists of two splicing variants. It is highly expressed in wide range of tissues such as testis, kidney, spleen and brain. In neurons, it is distributed in microsomal and synaptosomal fractions, the neuronal perinuclear region, cytoplasm, and fibers.

Immunogen

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13A 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

VPS13A (Vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog A, S. cerevisiae) is involved in the molecular trafficking to the cytoskeleton and intracellular space. VPS13A performs an important role in the regulation of actin reorganization, apoptosis, and cell morphology. It controls PI3K, Rac1, and PAK1 signaling pathways. It directly interacts with the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), which mediates the phosphorylation of the PI3K subunit p85 followed by PI3K, Rac1 and PAK1 activation. Further, the activated PI3K and PAK1 initiate actin polymerization and rearrange microfilaments. Mutation in VPS13A causes the chorea-acanthocytosis syndrome in humans.

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.
