General description
The gene KANK4 (KN motif and ankyrin repeat domains 4) encodes a member of the KANK family of proteins that contain the conserved ankyrin-repeat and coiled-coil domains at the C-terminus. The encoded protein also contains a conserved motif at the N-terminal (KN motif) containing motifs that may be involved in nuclear localization and export signals. In rat glomeruli, KANK4 is found to localize to podocyte cell bodies and primary processes. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 1.
Immunogen
KN motif and ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-KANK4 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunoprecipitation.
Anti-KANK4 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
The gene KANK4 (KN motif and ankyrin repeat domains 4) encodes a protein that may function in the formation of actin stress fibers.
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 APREST72620.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
