Anti-BICD1 antibody produced in rabbit

All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images 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.
Anti-BICD1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunofluorescence.

BICD1 (BICD cargo adaptor 1) is needed for transport of mRNA transcripts and retrograde trafficking of vesicles from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum. It interacts with Rab6B (Ras-related protein) to control retrograde transport of cargo in neuronal cells. It plays an important role in dynein function by forming a complex with dynein–dynactin. Dynein is needed for mitosis, nuclear migration, mRNA movements and axonal and dendritic vesicles transport. BICD1 also controls PAR1 (protease-activated receptor 1)-G protein signaling and endocytosis. PAR1 is a G protein-associated receptor which has important roles in cancer, angiogenesis, inflammation and thrombosis. BICD1 polymorphism rs2630778 is associated with telomere shortening. In addition, it is one of the susceptibility gene for emphysema.

Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.

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.

The gene BICD1 (BICD cargo adaptor 1) is mapped to human chromosome 12p11. It is a coiled-coil protein.
BICD1 protein interacts with:

• RAB6A (anti-RAB6A HPA059131)
• STAT3 (anti-STAT3 HPA001671)
• MAPK14 (anti-MAPK14 SAB4300499)
