Anti-GM2A antibody produced in rabbit

HPA008063    Human Protein Atlas characterization data

GM2A (GM2 ganglioside activator) gene is mapped to human chromosome 5q33.1. The 5′ end of the gene exhibits promoter activity. This region is rich in GC-content and contains promoter elements, such as Sp1, AP2, cAMP-responsive element, and B-cell-specific activating protein. The protein is abundantly expressed in placenta, bone marrow, mammary gland, bladder, lymph node, and spleen.

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.

GM2A (GM2 ganglioside activator) gene encodes a small glycolipid transport protein that binds to ganglioside GM2 from membranes to form a GM2 ganglioside-GM2AP complex in the lysosome. The α and β subunits of β-hexosaminidase A interact with this complex and catalyze the cleavage of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine in GM2 to form GM3. Mutations in this gene can cause a neurodegenerative disease called GM2 gangliosidosis.

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.
