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: PRKAB1 (protein kinase, AMP-activated, ß 1 non-catalytic subunit) is a non-catalytic, ß subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). It acts as a metabolic sensor for AMP levels. It plays a key role in energy sensor during the response to energy demand and supply. It regulates cell metabolism. It increases the glycolytic flux by H202 which increase intracellular NADPH content. The activity of PRKAB1 is controlled by decreasing concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and increasing AMP concentrations.
