Gene Information

General description

Pleckstrin homology domain containing A7 (PLEKHA7) is a junctional protein, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 11. PLEKHA7 belongs to the group of zonula adherens (ZA) proteins. The encoded protein is localized strictly at apical adherens junction (AJ) in epithelial cells.

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.
Anti-PLEKHA7 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence and immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pleckstrin homology domain containing A7 (PLEKHA7) functions as a zonula adherens (ZA) stabilizer and as an adaptor protein, which helps in binding the adherens junctions (AJs) to the minus ends of the microtubules. The protein controls miRNA-mediated cell growth by interacting with the microprocessor complex at the apical ZA. Mutation in the gene leads to blood pressure and/or hypertension. Downregulated expression of PLEKHA7 has been observed in high grade ductal carcinomas and in lobular carcinomas.

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.
