Application: Anti-SEC62 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: The gene SEC62 is also referred to as TLOC1 (trasnlocation 1) and is mapped to human chromosome 3q26.2. It forms a subunit of the endoplasmic reticulum protein translocation machinery. In yeast, the endoplasmic reticulum membrane transport complex consists of the trimeric Sec61p complex and the Sec62p-Sec63p subcomplex. In mammalian cells, the protein SEC62 is found to be associated with Sec61 complex, which suggests its role in transport processes similar to those observed by the yeast Sec complex. The exact function of this protein in mammalian cells is yet to be determined. This protein is found to be overexpressed in prostate cancer cells and may serve as a potential diagnostic or prognostic marker in prostate cancer. The gene SEC62 has been identified as a driver gene along with a second 3q26 gene, SKIL (SNON). These two genes have been found to cooperate to produce a tumorigenic phenotype.
