General description

Major vault protein (MVP) is the major vault protein with molecular mass of 110kDa. It is involved in the nucleo-cytoplasmic transport. It encodes for multidrug resistance-associated protein and protein kinase C-β and may have impact on the drug resistance (doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, paclitaxel, and gramicidin D) in cells via transport process.

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

MVP (major vault protein) is primarily responsible for maintaining the vault structure. In addition to maintenance of vault sturture, MVP is also involved in wide range of cellular activities such as drug resistance, subcellular transport, cell differentiation, regulation of intracellular signaling cascades including the PI (phosphoinositide) 3-kinase and the MAP (mitogen activated protein) kinase pathway. It acts as a Src-SH2 binding protein in human stomach tissue. MVP translocate from the nucleus to the cytosol and perinuclear region by the stimulation of epidermal growth factor (EGF). Thus, it proves MVP has high impact on Src-mediated cell signalling cascades. It has also been reported that MVP can stimulate EGF-dependent transcriptional activation for cell survival signaling.

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.

    Lung resistance-related protein (LRP), the major vault protein in humans, is sometimes overexpressed in multidrug-resistant cells. Because cells transfected with the LRP gene did not express the multidrug-resistant phenotype, we investigated whether LRP is involved in multidrug resistance. SW-620 cells
