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: TAOK2 (thousand-and-one-amino acid kinase 2) gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the MAP Kinase Kinase Kinase (MAPKKK) family of proteins. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 16p11.2, a region implicated in susceptibility to autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. The encoded protein modulates gene transcription by activating mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways, such as JNK, p38, or extracellular signal-regulated kinase. It functions in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton in non-neuronal cells through the activation of JNK. Down-regulation of TAOK2 inhibits the formation of basal dendrites and axonal elongation. Therefore, it plays an important role in basal dendrite formation in the neocortex.
