General description
The gene NPAS4 (neuronal PAS domain protein 4) is mapped to human chromosome 11q13. It is also referred to as NXF (neuronal transcription factor) and LE-PAS (limbic-enriched PAS domain protein). The encoded protein belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS (Per-ARNT-Sim) protein family. NPAS4 is mainly expressed in the brain and low levels are also present in the testis. The protein is present in the nucleus.
NPAS4 protein interacts with:

- ARNT (anti-ARNT HPA001759)
- ARNTL (anti-ARNTL SAB4300614)
- ARNT2 (anti-ARNT2 HPA001056)

Application
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-NPAS4 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions
NPAS4 (neuronal PAS domain protein 4) is an activity-related transcription factor. It controls inhibitory and excitatory synapse formation. This action of NPAS4 depends on the neuronal cell type. NPAS4 also regulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophin required for neuronal viability, differentiation and synaptic plasticity. NPAS4 is associated with cognitive and social neurobehavior. In addition, it is involved in hippocampus- and amygdala-linked learning and memory. NPAS4 is also linked with psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder and cognition-associated disorders. This gene is also expressed during ischemic stroke and protects neurons against neurodegenerative insults.
Features and Benefits
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:
