VMO1 (vitelline membrane outer layer 1 homolog) belongs to the VMO1 family and is conserved in the chicken, mouse and human.
Synonyms: Anti-Vitelline membrane outer layer 1 homolog (chicken)
Storage: -20C
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: In chicken, VMO1 (vitelline membrane outer layer 1 homolog) is mainly present in the outer layer of the vitelline membrane of eggs and forms a rigid structure for maintaining the shape of the egg. It is needed for separating the yolk from the egg white, thereby providing protection from bacterial infection.
