Anti-SVIL antibody produced in rabbit

Supervillin (SVIL) is a 205kDa protein expressed in the peripheral membrane. It possesses an amino-terminal domain and a carboxyl-terminal domain containing a villin-type domain. The gene encoding SVIL is localized on human chromosome 10p11.2.

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.

Supervillin (SVIL) binds to F-actin, myosin II and other signaling proteins in lipid rafts. It accelerates the signaling pathways from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). Thus, it coordinates with many proteins to help in cell motility. SVIL increases the contractile nature of myosin II by scaffolding it to long-myosin light chain kinase (L-MLCK). It also contributes to enhance extracellular matrix degradation and reducing the extent of cell-substrate adhesion. SVIL expression in cells have negative effects on thrombus development.

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.
