General description
Nephronectin (NPNT) is an extracellular matrix protein consisting of five EGF-like repeats, a mucin region containing a RGD sequence, and a COOH-terminal MAM domain. In humans, it is located at the chromosomal position 4q25. It has two transcript variants (i.e. NPNTa and NPNTb). It is expressed in the embryonic (ear, eye, heart, lung and kidney) and adult tissues (in lung, kidney, brain, uterus, placenta, thyroid gland and blood vessels).

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
Nephronectin (NPNT) is involved in the embryonic development and maintenance of various adult tissues. It functions in the differentiation of osteoblast via epidermal growth factor-like repeats. It also participates in the development of embryonic kidney with integrin α8β1.
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.

We found that nephronectin was significantly down-regulated by TGF-beta1. To determine the function of nephronectin in osteogenesis, we generated various constructs to produce stable MC3T3-E1 cell lines, expressing and secreting nephronectin protein, including full-length (Npnt), lacking EGF-like repeats (Np-MAM), and

Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are found in 1.5-3.0% of hypertensive patients in primary care and can be cured by surgery. Elucidation of genetic events may improve our understanding of these tumors and ultimately improve patient care. Approximately 40% of APAs harbor

We describe the identification and characterization of a human epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like gene, nephronectin (NPNT), which encodes predicted proteins most homologous to the mouse nephronectin (Npnt). Human NPNT is located at the chromosomal position 4q25. Two transcript variants, NPNTa

The epithelial-mesenchymal interactions required for kidney organogenesis are disrupted in mice lacking the integrin alpha8beta1. None of this integrin's known ligands, however, appears to account for this phenotype. To identify a more relevant ligand, a soluble integrin alpha8beta1 heterodimer fused
