Anti-SFXN2 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene SFXN2 (Sideroflexin-2) has been mapped to human chromosome 10q24.32. RT-PCR analysis showed high expression of SFXN2 mRNA in kidney, liver, and pancreas.

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.

Sideroflexin is a member of a novel gene family of putative transport proteins in eukaryotes. Mutations in mouse sideroflexin result in accumulation of iron in erythroid mitochondria, causing sideroblastic anemia. Using bioinformatics analysis, human Sideroflexin-2 (SFXN2) has been predicted as a target of miR-204 and miR-133a/miR-133b. Mouse and human SFXN2 showed repression when co-expressed with miR-24 mimic in HeLa and HEK293 cells. The gene is up-regulated during human cytomegalovirus infection in endothelial-like ECV304 cells. Also, it has been identified as a hepatocellular carcinoma specific transcript using modified suppression subtractive hybridization approach.

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.

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
