General description

FAM20C (Family with sequence similarity 20, member C) is a member of FAM20 protein family. It is distributed in several mammalian cell lines. During hematopoietic differentiation, it is expressed in hematopoietic cells.

Immunogen

Dentin matrix protein 4 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-FAM20C 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

FAM20C (Family with sequence similarity 20, member C) is a secretory Golgi casein kinase involved in biomineralization, enamel formation, lipid homeostasis, wound healing, cell migration and adhesion. It has ability to phosphorylate S-x-E/pS motifs on proteins in milk and in the extracellular matrix of bones and teeth. During enamel formation, it forms a functional complex by binding to a pseudokinase, Fam20A, which triggers extracellular protein phosphorylation within the secretory pathway. Mutations in FAM20C gene cause Raine syndrome, hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, dental anomalies, intracerebral calcifications and osteosclerosis.

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.
