Anti-TPK1 antibody produced in rabbit

TPK1 (thiamine pyrophosphokinase 1) protein is encoded by TPK1 gene localized to human chromosome 7q34-36. The gene comprises of at least nine exons and spans ~420kb. TPK1 enzyme is highly expressed in maternal, placental and fetal tissues. The human TPK1 mRNA is expressed relatively high in kidney, small intestine and testis with lesser expression in brain, liver, placenta and spleen.

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.

TPK1 (thiamine pyrophosphokinase 1) is a cellular enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of thiamine to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). TPK1 enzyme plays a vital role in controlling birth weight. Mutation of this gene causes thiamine metabolism dysfunction called episodic encephalopathy .

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.
