Gene Information
human ... EPX(8288)
General description
The gene EPX (eosinophil peroxidase) is mapped to human chromosome 17q22. The gene encodes for a secondary granule protein. The EPX protein is mainly secreted by eosinophils. It belongs to the alarmin family of proteins.
Immunogen
eosinophil peroxidase 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
EPX (eosinophil peroxidase) is a heme-containing enzyme. It is also a pro-angiogenic protein and stimulates endothelial cells to control vessel development. Levels of EPX in sputum is connected with eosinophil cell counts in the sputum. Single nucleotide polymorphism in this gene is associated with inflammatory bowel disease. This association is dependent on the age and gender of the person. Humans with ulcerative colitis show high intraluminal release of EPX. EPX is also linked with various cancers. Absence or low activity of EPX causes hereditary eosinophil peroxidase deficiency.
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.
