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: SLC27A4 (solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 4) gene encodes a fatty acid transport protein that functions in the transport of long-chain fatty acids cross the plasma membrane. It is important in the absorption of fat in early embryogenesis. It plays an important role in directing lipids for oxidation. It is the principal transporter in enterocytes, where it is expressed abundantly. Defects in this gene are associated with ichthyosis prematurity syndrome that is characterized by premature birth and neonatal asphyxia, lifelong nonscaly ichthyosis with atopic manifestations. The gene is a candidate gene for susceptibility to insulin resistance syndrome.
