Gene Information

human ... IFT20(90410)

General description

The gene IFT20 (intraflagellar transport protein 20 homolog) is mapped to human chromosome 17q11.2. IFT20 transcripts are expressed mainly in brain, lung, kidney and pancreas. However, low expression can be observed in placenta, liver, thymus, prostate and testis. The protein localizes to the Golgi complex, basal body and cilia.

Immunogen

intraflagellar transport 20

Application

Anti-IFT20 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 and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is crucial for maintenance and assembly of cilia/flagella. IFT20 (intraflagellar transport protein 20 homolog) is a subunit of IFT particles. It is responsible for transfer of ciliary membrane proteins from the Golgi complex to the cilium.

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.
