Anti-DUSP12 antibody produced in rabbit

General description

DUSP12 (dual specificity phosphatase 12) gene is localized to human chromosome 1q21-q22. Its C-terminal contains a non-catalytic domain, which is rich in cysteine and acts as a zinc finger domain. It is an atypical DUSP member, which is recognized as a phosphatase with pro-survival attributes. It is evolutionary conserved. Its DUSP catalytic domain is present at its N-terminal.

Immunogen

Dual specificity protein phosphatase 12 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

DUSP12 (dual specificity phosphatase 12) enzyme is thought to be involved in cell survival and the synthesis of ribosomes. It also regulates the progression of cell cycle through its C-terminal zinc-binding domain. It protects cells from oxidative stress, where it forms intramolecular disulfide bonds to prevent irreversible inactivation and remains functionally active. This protein functions as an oncogene, where its over-expression results in elevated cell motility and prevention of apoptosis. It is also lined to metastasis, as its up-regulation leads to elevated levels of c-met proto-oncogene and the collagen and laminin receptor intergrin α1 (itgα1).

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.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST70680.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
