ANTI-HPRT1 (C15-1446-618)

General description

HPRT1 (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1) enzyme is an essential part of the purine salvage pathway. The corresponding gene is localized to human chromosome Xq26-27, which is composed of nine exons. The encoded protein is composed of 218 amino acids.

Immunogen

Biochem/physiol Actions

HPRT1 (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1) functions in the purine salvage pathway, where it recycles guanine and hypoxanthine into available nucleotides. Degree of enzyme inactivity determines the severity of the related disorder. Incomplete inactivation results in Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome, which is characterized by uric acid nephrolithiasis, hyperuricemia, hyperuricaciduria, and gout arthritis. Severest disorder caused by inactivation of this gene is called Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND).

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.
