Specificity
NGEP Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of NGEP protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
This prostate-specific gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein, as well as a polytopic membrane protein which may serve as a target in prostate cancer diagnosis and immunotherapy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],
Function
caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-55 is the initiator.,function:May act as a calcium-activated chloride channel. May play a role in cell-cell interactions.,induction:Up-regulated by androgen.,similarity:Belongs to the anoctamin family.,subcellular location:Concentrates at sites of cell-cell contact.,tissue specificity:Specifically expressed in epithelial cells of the prostate (at protein level).,
Other name
ANO7; NGEP; PCANAP5; TMEM16G; Anoctamin-7; Dresden transmembrane protein of the prostate; D-TMPP; IPCA-5; New gene expressed in prostate; Prostate cancer-associated protein 5; Transmembrane protein 16G
