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: Heat shock protein 90kDa ß member 1 (HSP90B1) is a chaperone protein encoded by the HSP90B1 gene in humans. It is responsible for molecular folding and assembly of proteins and might serve as a novel candidate marker for predicting nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). It is highly expressed under stress induction as during inflammation and possibly mediates tolerance. It possesses a unique property to modulate the immune response in pathologies with exaggerated immune response.
