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: ATP6V1B2 (ATPase, H+ transporting, V1 subunit B2) gene encodes a component of the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), a multisubunit enzyme that is involved in the acidification of eukaryotic intracellular organelles. This acidification of organelles is important in processes such as protein sorting, zymogen activation, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and synaptic vesicle proton gradient generation. V-ATPase contains a cytosolic V1 domain that has ATPase activity and a transmembrane V0 domain involved in protein translocation. ATP6V1B2 encodes one of the two V1 domain B subunit isoforms. It is also called as lysosomal V1 subunit B2 or a brain isoform as it is abundantly expressed in the cerebrum and the organelle of lysosome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with DDOD (dominant deafness-onychodystrophy) syndrome.
