Anti-ANXA6 antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: ANXA6 (annexin A6) belongs to a family of structurally highly conserved, Ca2+-regulated membrane-binding proteins called annexins. All annexin proteins are composed of a conserved Ca2+ and phospholipid-binding core and an N-terminal tail, which is different in each annexin.[1] However, unlike other annexins this protein contains eight instead of four annexin repeats.
• Immunogen: Annexin A6 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
• Application: Anti-ANXA6 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: ANXA6 (annexin A6) plays an essential role in maintaining cellular homeostasis of cholesterol. It functions as a negative regulator of influenza A virus (IAV) replication. It therefore, has an antiviral activity attributed to its capability to influence cellular cholesterol pool.[1] It interacts with membrane phospholipdis, F-actin and specific extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Thus, it might be involved in rapid plasma membrane reorganization, which results in cell adhesion and motility. The expression of this protein promotes anchorage-independent cell growth and loss of cell-cell or cell-ECM adhesion. Thus, it facilitates breast cancer tumorigenesis. This protein is thought to be involved in the assembly of detergent-resistant membrane microdomains (DRMs) found in Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, as it is found anchored to the cholesterol storage compartment membranes in NPC disease fibroblasts.
• 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.
