General description
The gene PEBP4 (phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 4) is mapped to human chromosome 8p21.3. It belongs to the PEBP family of proteins. The protein has potential glycosylation sites and can be secreted. It is mainly expressed in the skeletal muscle, heart and thyroid.
Immunogen
Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
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
PEBP4 (phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 4) regulates apoptosis by associating with Raf1 (proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase) and MEK1 (MAPK/ERK kinase 1). This association blocks TNFα (tumor necrosis α) or TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) - mediated activation of MEK/ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase). PEBP4 is also involved in myoblast differentiation. Additionally, it promotes Akt (RAC-α serine/threonine-protein kinase) activation. The gene is expressed in various cancers and is associated with cancer progression. The PEBP4 mRNA is a target of microRNA miR-34a.
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 APREST76250.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
