Gene Information

human ... THY1(7070)

General description

Thy-1 (Thy-1 cell surface antigen) is a 18,000Da glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin supergene family. It consists of a hydrophobic segment at the carboxyl terminus and a site for N-glycosylation.
Thy-1 cell surface antigen (Thy-1)/CD90 (cluster of differentiation 90) is a 25–37 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein. It was first detected in the T cells of mice. Thy-1 is expressed in thymocytes, T cells, neurons, hematopoietic stem cells, cancer stem cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. This gene is located on human chromosome 11q23.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project 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. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thy-1 cell surface antigen (Thy-1)/CD90 (cluster of differentiation 90) is involved in T-cell activation, neuritis outgrowth modulation, vesicular release of neurotransmitter at the synapse, astrocyte adhesion, apoptosis in carcinoma cells, tumour suppression, wound healing, fibrosis and fibrogenesis. It also controls fibroblast focal adhesion, cytoskeleton organization and cell migration.
Thy-1 is also known as CD90 (Cluster of Differentiation 90). The gene is involved in invasion and associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition. It is a novel diagnostic marker that contributes for the diagnosis of epithelioid mesothelioma. It can act as a promising novel prognostic marker for male breast cancer. It may act as a biomarker for several tumors as well as cancer stem cells and may be involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may also act as a potential marker of lung cancer stem cells.

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:
  • 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.
