Anti-TSPOAP1 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene BZRAP1 (benzodiazepine receptor (peripheral) associated protein 1) is mapped to human chromosome 17q22-q23. The mRNA is mainly expressed in the central nervous system, pituitary gland and thymus. The protein is mainly expressed in the brain and thymus. The protein is present in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, and has three proline-rich domains, three leucine-zipper motifs and an Src homology region 3-like domain.

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.

BZRAP1 (benzodiazepine receptor associated protein 1, also referred to as RIM-BP1 (RIMS-binding protein 1)) interacts with peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR). It also interacts with the presynaptic active zone proteins RIMs (Rab-3 interacting molecules) and voltage-gated Ca²⁺-channels. RIM-BPs help in maintaining a functional connection between Ca²⁺-channels and the synaptic-vesicle tethering apparatus.

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.
