ANTI-PML (C15-1447-107)

General description

Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) belongs to the B-box family of proteins.

Immunogen

Probable transcription factor PML recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-PML 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.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) plays an important role as a cell growth and tumor suppressor protein. It is essential for multiple apoptotic signals. PML is present in speckled nuclear structures called PML nuclear bodies (NB). In mature activated splenic lymphocytes, a protein called Daxx (death domain-associated protein) is upregulated and it accumulates in the PML-NBs. Here, PML and Daxx physically interact and take part in a pathway for apoptosis. It also acts as a ligand-dependent coactivator of retinoid X receptor α (RXR-α)/retinoic acid receptor α (RAR-α).

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
