Gene Information
human ... AHNAK(79026)
General description
The gene AHNAK (neuroblast differentiation-associated protein) is mapped to human chromosome 11q12.2. AHNAK is strongly expressed in muscular cells, for instance cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells. The protein localizes at the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. AHNAK is commonly called as desmoyokin.
Immunogen
Neuroblast differentiation-associated protein AHNAK recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-AHNAK 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
AHNAK (neuroblast differentiation-associated protein) interacts with muscle membrane repair protein, Dysferlin. It is recruited to the bacterial invasion site and is involved in type-3 secretion system mediated invasion of Salmonella and Chlamydia trachomatis. AHNAK is down-regulated in neuroblastoma cell line, small cell lung carcinomas and Burkitt lymphomas, whereas, up-regulated in prostate cancer cell line, breast cancer, fibrosarcoma and glioma.
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.
