Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

PLAU (plasminogen activator, urokinase) is a plasminogen activator, which is produced by renal and other cells. It is a serine protease, and acts as a ligand for UPAR (urokinase-type plasminogen receptor). This protein has a wide range of tissue expression.

Immunogen

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anwendung

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. Wirkung

PLAU (plasminogen activator, urokinase), post-activation, cleaves plasminogen to produce plasmin, which then degrades multiple constituents of the ECM (extracellular matrix). Along with UPAR and protease inhibitor PAI, it makes the UPA system, which is essential for controlled focal proteolysis and cell migration and adhesion. Therefore, it is also implicated in tumorigenesis, and is linked to gastric cancer (GC). The expression level of this system is also linked to the peritoneal metastasis of GC. In idiopathic membranous nephropathy, variants of this gene are linked with mortality and ESRD (end stage renal disease). Over-expression of this gene is linked to poor prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). It facilitates the stemness of cancer cells by interacting with LIM homeobox-2 (Lhx2), homeobox transcription factor A5 (HOXA5) and Hey proteins. Studies in Northern Chinese Han population suggest SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in this gene are linked with the occurrence of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Leistungsmerkmale und Vorteile

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.
