Application
All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies 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. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MB21D1 (Mab-21 domain containing 1) is a cytosolic DNA sensor and is responsible for the immune activation. It is needed for interferon production via the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) pathway. DNA recognition by MB21D1 results in formation of 2′3′-cGAMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate) which interacts with STING. These events lead to the activation of TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1), followed by activation of transcription factor IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3). MB21D1 also plays an important role in activation of interferons in presence of DNA virus (herpes simplex virus 1, vaccinia virus, adenovirus and retroviruses) infection. It is needed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by macrophages and works as an innate immune sensor.
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 APREST77652.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
