Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: FOXO1 (forkhead box O1) gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the FOXO subfamily of Forkhead transcription factors. These proteins are targets for insulin and growth factor signaling. Insulin suppresses the activity of this protein. Phosphorylation of Ser-256 by protein kinase B is essential for the ability of insulin and insulin-like growth factors to suppress this protein. Phosphorylation of FOXO1 at Ser-249 by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) stimulates FOXO1-dependent transcription, leading to cell death in neurons. FOXO1 associates with protein kinase mammalian Sterile 20-like kinase 1 (MST1) and regulates neuronal cell death. The protein is involved in induction of autophagy and tumor suppression.
