Anti-CLPTM1L antibody produced in rabbit

CLPTM1L (cleft lip and palate trans-membrane 1-like) was originally discovered as a gene conferring resistance to cisplatin in ovarian cancer cells. Thus, it is also called cisplatin resistance-related protein 9 (CRR9p). This gene is localized to human chromosome 5p15.33. It is expressed in multiple types of tumors, and is up-regulated in cisplatin-resistant tumor cell lines.

CLPTM1L (cleft lip and palate trans-membrane 1-like) is mainly involved in maintaining genomic stability and integrity, by controlling the activity of telomerases. This protein might be involved in apoptosis. It is up-regulated in lung cancer, and regulates Bcl-xL, and inhibits genotoxic stress-mediated apoptosis in lung tumor cells. Therefore, it facilitates lung tumorigenesis. It facilitates growth in pancreatic cells, and is up-regulated in pancreatic cancer cells, where it promotes growth and aneuploidy. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) show that polymorphisms in this gene are also linked to susceptibility to familial and bilateral testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs).

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.
