Gene Information

human ... PRAME(23532)

General description

The gene PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma) is mapped to human chromosome 22q11. The encoded protein belongs to the cancer D testis antigen family. It is a tumor-associated antigen. PRAME has very low or no expression in normal tissues.
PRAME protein interacts with:

Immunogen

preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

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-PRAME antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma) is overexpressed in malignant cells, including primary and metastatic melanomas, acute and chronic leukaemias, Hodgkin′s lymphoma, breast cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. In AML (acute myeloid leukemia), high levels of PRAME are associated with lower relapse rate and high chances of disease-free survival. PRAME also plays a role in the retinol pathway. It modulates the metabolism of all-trans retinol (vitamin A) and its active metabolites, referred to as retinoids. It is a repressor of retinoic acid receptor signaling.

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.

Thymic squamous cell carcinoma (TSQCC), accounting for 70-80% of thymic carcinoma cases, is distinct from thymoma. However, differential diagnosis for type B3 thymoma is sometimes challenging, even with established markers for TSQCC, including KIT and CD5, which are expressed in ~ 80%
