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
AKR1A1 (Aldo-keto reductase family 1, member A1) is associated with the regulation of liver development and hepatocyte maturation. In response to liver damage or partial hepatectomy, it plays an important role in liver regeneration by acting as a hepatotrophic growth factor. AKR1A1 also participates in metabolism of several chemotherapy drugs. It converts anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN) to their alcohol metabolites. It has been suggested that AKR1A1 can be used as a genetic biomarker in DAUN-induced cardiotoxicity.
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:
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.

Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are a class of NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases that have been linked to metabolism of the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN). Although widely used, cardiotoxicity continues to be a serious side effect that may be linked to metabolites
