HSPA12A (heat shock 70kDa protein 12A), along with HSPA12B, forms a subfamily of Hsp70 protein family. It is expressed in brain, heart, kidney and muscle.
Synonyms: Anti-Heat shock 70 kDa protein 12A
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: HSPA12A (heat shock 70kDa protein 12A) is highly expressed in the frontal and occipital regions of brain cortex. However, it is down-regulated in prefrontal cortex of schizophrenic subjects. Its expression is elevated in atherosclerotic lesions, and it might play a role in the susceptibility to atherosclerosis.
