Application

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sorting nexin-4 (SNX4) inhibits transferrin receptor (TfnR) endocytosis and colocalizes with transferrin-containing vesicles, thus indicating that it is a part of the endocytic machinery and involved in endosomal sorting. It associates with key elements of endocytosis like amphiphysin 2 and sequesters it when overexpressed. Through its Phox homology (PX) and Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domains, SNX4 associates with tubular and vesicular elements. This occurs in a compartment which overlaps with the juxtanuclear endocytic recycling compartment (ERC) and the peripheral early endosomes. It interacts with KIBRA, a protein which binds to dynein light chain 1 and associates with the minus end-directed microtubule motor dynein. SNX4 is involved in driving membrane tubulation, sorting of the TfnR and transport of carriers from early endosomes to the ERC. Thus it has an important role in coordinating sorting along with carrier transport between donor and recipient membranes.

Features and Benefits

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.
