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: KIF5A (kinesin family member 5A) encodes the neuronal kinesis heavy chain (KHC) subunit of kinesin-1 belonging to the kinesin superfamily. It is a two-headed motor protein involved in the axonal transport. It utilizes ATP hydrolysis as energy source for the transportation of intracellular cargo toward the plus-ends of microtubules within axons. Mutation in the KIF5A causes a hereditary disease - spastic paraplegia. Alterations have been reported in the motor domain of the neuronal kinesin heavy chain of the gene KIF5A.
