General description
The gene AGK (acylglycerol kinase) is mapped to human chromsome 7q34. The protein localizes in the mitochondria. AGK is strongly expressed in the heart, muscle, kidney and brain.
Immunogen
Acylglycerol kinase, mitochondrial Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-AGK 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
AGK (acylglycerol kinase) is responsible for formation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and phosphatidic acid (PA) through phosphorylation of monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol, respectively. Additionally, AGK-mediated scavenging of mitochondrial diacylglycerol has been reported. It is up-regulated in prostate cancer and participates in amplification of EGF (epidermal growth factor) signaling. AGK also promotes tumorigenesis in breast cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Mutations in AGK are linked with Sengers syndrome.
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.
