IgGFc-binding protein precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-FCGBP antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, 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. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgGFc-binding protein is a protein encoded by the FCGBP gene in humans. The gene is also known as FcγBP. Its mRNA is expressed only in placenta and colonic epithelial cells. It may play an important role in immune protection and inflammation in the intestines of primates. The gene is expressed in both human and mouse prostates. Differential expression of this gene could reflect its potential role in prostate malignancy as well as an indicator for progression of the cancer. It is differentially expressed in normal thyroid tissue, thyroid adenomas and thyroid carcinomas. The gene is constitutively expressed in normal thyroid tissue, its expression is significantly increased in follicular thyroid adenomas and considerably decreased in papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas. The expression level of this gene in thyroid biopsies is useful for distinguishing between a thyroid follicular adenoma and a follicular carcinoma.

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.
