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
Heat shock protein β-8 is a protein encoded by the HSPB8 gene in humans. It is a small HSP expressed ubiquitously in various tissues that serves as a positive regulator in TGF-α-induced migration of ovarian cancer cells. This gene is associated with aggressiveness and prognosis of tumor cells, thereby protecting tumor cell from apoptosis in many malignancies. Mutation in this gene (i.e. missense mutation) may lead to distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) and axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2L).
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 clinically and molecularly characterize a new family with autosomal dominant rimmed vacuolar myopathy (RVM) caused by mutations in the HSPB8 gene. We performed whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing in the family. Western blot and immunocytochemistry were used to analyze 3

HspB8, a small heat-shock protein implicated in autophagy, is mutated in patients with distal hereditary motor neuropathy type II (dHMNII). Autophagy is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis in the central nervous system, but its role has not been investigated in

Missense mutations in the small heat shock protein HSPB8 cause distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) and axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2L). We previously demonstrated that, despite the ubiquitous expression of HSPB8, motor neurons appear to be predominantly affected by HSPB8 mutations.
