Anti-DAXX antibody produced in rabbit

DAXX (death-domain associated protein) is a nuclear protein, which is highly conserved in nature. It shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. It was originally identified as a FAS-interacting protein, which induces FAS-mediated apoptosis. This gene is localized to human chromosome 6p21.3 in the MHC (major histocompatibility complex) locus. The encoded protein contains FAS-binding region in its C-terminal. It contains two putative nuclear localization signals.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project 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. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Anti-DAXX antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

DAXX (death-domain associated protein) plays essential roles in control of transcription and viral infection and carcinogenesis. It controls multiple signaling pathways involved in cell survival and death. It forms a constitutive constituent of promyleocytic leukaemia protein (PML) nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). In human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced cervical carcinoma, this protein translocates gradually from nucleus to nuclear membrane to cytoplasm to plasma membrane. It acts as a bifunctional protein at centrosomic/pericentrosomic heterochromatin, where it controls the loading of heat shock protein H3.3 under normal conditions and the protection epigenetic identity of heterochromatin during stress conditions. The subcellular localization of this protein determines the sensitivity of macrophages to oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), where its nuclear localization can negate the effect of ox-LDL.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
