Synonyms: Anti-Ceruloplasmin precursor antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Ferroxidase antibody produced in rabbit
Storage: -20C
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: Ceruloplasmin precursor (CP), a metalloprotein, is involved with the cellular iron export into plasma. Mutation in CP causes an inherited neurodegenerative disorder, aceruloplasminemia, which is an iron overload disease. In blood stream, Ferroportin (Fpn), a ferrous iron Fe(II) transporter helps in iron efflux. In absence of CP, iron remains bound to Fpn, unable to enter into the plasma.
