The human sialidase (neuraminidase1) NEU1 gene is mapped on chromosome 6p21.3 codes for ~45kDa protein NEU1, with potential three N-linked glycosylation sites. This gene consists of five introns and six exons. The encoded protein is localized to plasma membrane and lysosomal membrane.
Synonyms: Anti-Acetylneuraminyl hydrolase; Anti-G9 sialidase; Anti-Lysosomal sialidase; Anti-N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminidase 1; Anti-Sialidase-1
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: Neu1(neuraminidase 1) protein on the cell surface promotes the deposition of insoluble elastin by removing the sialyl groups from surrounding microfibrillar glycoproteins, thus playing a part in the maintenance of cellular quiescence. Cell surface NEU-1 and cathepsin-A complex might help in antigen presentation or might affect intercellular interactions. Neu1 gene mutation leads to a lysosomal storage disorder called sialidosis. Neu1 and MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase-9) on the cell surface facilitate signaling and neurotrophin mediated Trk (tyrosine kinase) receptor activation .
