human ... PTP4A1(7803)

General description

PTP4A1 (Protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA 1) gene encodes a multifunctional protein belonging to the family of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). It is composed of a shallow active-site pocket attached sulfate ion with highly hydrophobic property. It is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum in a farnesylation-dependent manner.

Immunogen

Protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA 1 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

PTP4A1 (Protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA 1) is characterized by C-terminal farnesylation. These proteins function in the regulation of cell proliferation and transformation. The encoded protein is also referred to as PRL-1 and it localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitotic spindle in a cell cycle-dependent manner. It is essential for normal mitosis. This protein is involved in cell migration, invasion, and metastasis.

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.

We demonstrate here that Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing PRL-3, a M(r) 20000 prenylated protein tyrosine phosphatase, or its relative, PRL-1, exhibit enhanced motility and invasive activity. A catalytically inactive PRL-3 mutant has significantly reduced migration-promoting activity. We observe

Recent evidence suggests that the PRL-1 and -2 phosphatases may be multifunctional enzymes with diverse roles in a variety of tissue and cell types. Northern blotting has previously shown widespread expression of both transcripts; however, little is known about the
