Gene Information

General description

Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (VCP) is an ATPase belonging to the ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA-ATPase) superfamily. The gene encoding VCP is located on chromosome 9pter-q34.

Immunogen

Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase 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

Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (VCP) binds to the C-terminal region of Dorfin (an ubiquitin ligase) and its ATPase activity contributes to the E3 activity of Dorfin. It helps glycoprotein 78 (Gp78) in coupling ubiquitination to degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and has an important role in the recognition and degradation of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) substrates. VCP also aids ring finger protein 8 (RNF8) to mediate assembly of signaling complexes. Missense mutations in the VCP gene leads to inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget′s disease of bone and front temporal dementia. It is characterized by the presence of vacuoles in the cytoplasm of muscle fibers.

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.

Valosin-containing protein (VCP) is associated with multiple cellular functions, including ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. Mutations in VCP are known to cause inclusion body myopathy with Paget's disease and frontotemporal dementia and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS; ALS14), both of which are
