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: SORT1 (Sortilin 1) is a sorting receptor protein. It encodes sortilin that participates in the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in plasma. It helps to relocate various target proteins including growth factors, signaling receptors, and enzymes in the specific secretory or endocytic cell compartment. It maintains the activities of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. Malfunctioning of this gene is responsible for cardiovascular and neurological diseases. It even can cause malignancies, including hypercholesterolemia, retinal degeneration, neuronal cell loss, Alzheimer's disease. It also has potentiality to mediate the endocytosis and degradation of lipoprotein lipase expressed on the cell surface.
