Anti-Periaxin antibody produced in rabbit

The Uses of Anti-Periaxin antibody produced in rabbit

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Periaxin (PRX) which encodes two proteins having PDZ (PSD95, Dlg1 and zo-1)-domains, L-periaxin (147kDa) and S-periaxin (16kDa), plays a significant role in myelination of the peripheral nerve. It connects the myelin to the surrounding basal lamina. L-periaxin is expressed at the adaxonal membrane of myelinating Schwann cells. Post myelination, it moves to the abaxonal membrane where its PDZ domain starts protein–protein interactions. Mutation in PRX gene causes autosomal recessive demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT4F) and Dejerine-Sottas disease.
