General description
WRAP53 (WD repeat containing, antisense to TP53) can result in three isoforms: α, β and γ. It is present in Cajal bodies. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 17p13.
Immunogen
WD repeat containing, antisense to TP53 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-WRAP53 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. 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
WRAP53 (WD repeat containing, antisense to TP53) results in the formation of p53 antisense transcripts, which controls p53 mRNA expression. It is upregulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and is associated with progression of the carcinoma. WRAP53 is also needed for telomere addition via telomerase. It is important for the assembly and trafficking of the telomerase holo-enzyme. It also participates in double starnd break repair and provides a scaffold for the factors involved in DNA repair. Mutations in WRAP53 result in dyskeratosis congenital.
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 APREST75665.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
