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: VPS37A (vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 37A) is a part of the ESCRT-I (endosomal complexes required for transport) complex, which participates in membrane remodelling, including multivesicular body biogenesis and cytokinesis. VPS37A is downregulated in various cancers, including ovarian cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
