Anti-SEC62 antibody produced in rabbit

Translocation protein SEC62 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anti-SEC62 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.

The gene SEC62 is also referred to as TLOC1 (trasnlocation 1) and is mapped to human chromosome 3q26.2. It forms a subunit of the endoplasmic reticulum protein translocation machinery. In yeast, the endoplasmic reticulum membrane transport complex consists of the trimeric Sec61p complex and the Sec62p-Sec63p subcomplex. In mammalian cells, the protein SEC62 is found to be associated with Sec61 complex, which suggests its role in transport processes similar to those observed by the yeast Sec complex. The exact function of this protein in mammalian cells is yet to be determined. This protein is found to be overexpressed in prostate cancer cells and may serve as a potential diagnostic or prognostic marker in prostate cancer. The gene SEC62 has been identified as a driver gene along with a second 3q26 gene, SKIL (SNON). These two genes have been found to cooperate to produce a tumorigenic phenotype.

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.
