Anti-S100A6 antibody produced in rabbit

S100A6 (S100 calcium binding protein A6) gene encodes an EF-hand calcium binding protein that is a member of the S100 family of proteins. It is also called calcyclin and contains a hydrophobic hinge region that connects the EF-hands. It is expressed in lineage restricted astrocyte precursors and may be useful in analyzing the characteristics of astrocyte precursors. It is also expressed in neural stem cells.

Protein S100-A6 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anti-S100A6 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.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)

S100A6 (S100 calcium binding protein A6) protein functions in processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation, calcium homeostasis, and neuronal degeneration in the brain. It may act as a buffering protein similar to calbindin. It may function in ubiquitinylated proteolytic degradation and cytoskeletal dynamics. Inhibition of this protein results in a decrease in the production of new astrocytes. S100A6 is involved in the differentiation and maturation of astrocytes.

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.
