The gene RNASE1 encodes a pancreatic ribonuclease that belongs to the ribonuclease A superfamily. It is mapped to human chromosome 14q11.2. It is expressed in many tissues and possesses crucial enzymatic as well as biological activities.

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: The gene RNASE1 encodes an endonuclease that catalyzes the cleavage of internal phosphodiester RNA bonds on the 3'-side of pyrimidine bases, preferably at poly(C) residues. It functions in the cleavage of single-stranded RNA, double-stranded RNA and double-stranded RNA-DNA hybrids. The protein is involved in biological activities, such as dietary RNA digestion, regulation of vascular homeostasis, and inactivation of the HIV. It participates in the activation of immature dendritic cells and induces cytokine production.
