Anti-RNF141 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene RING finger protein-141 (RNF141) has been mapped to human chromosome band 11p15.4. The gene gives two transcripts of 1 kb and 4.4 kb length. The shorter transcript is detected only in testicular tissue whereas the longer one is detected in other tissues (heart, brain, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas). The protein contains a C3HC3-type zinc finger protein motif. In protein fractions of human semen RNF141 showed the signal in the sperm acrosome and tail. Expression of RNF141 in the COS cells showed protein localization mainly in the nucleus.

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.

RT-PCR analysis showed presence of the transcript RING finger protein-141 in normal human adults but not in fetus and azoospermic patients. However, RING finger protein-141 (RNF141) knockout mice show no obvious impairment in body growth or fertility. RNF141 is upregulated in multidrug resistance leukemia cell line HL-60 compared to the parental HL-60 cells. Yeast two hybrid analysis showed RNF141 interaction with tripartite motif containing 8 (TRIM8), TRIM24 and deltex 3 (DTX3, E3 ubiquitin ligase).

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.
