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
IGFBP6 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6) gene encodes a member of the IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) that function in cell growth and differentiation. IGFBP6 differs from other members of the family in terms of its strong affinity to IGF-II over IGF-I. Human IGFBP6 does not contain 2 and 4 N-terminal cysteines, but has five serine/threonine glycosylation sites in the non-conserved mid-region. Human IGFBP6 is O-glycosylated and this glycosylation inhibits the proteolysis of IGFBP-6 by chymotrypsin and trypsin. Its main biological role is to regulate the activity of IGF-II, a factor implicated as an autocrine tumor growth factor. IGFBP-6 is associated with inhibition of tumor cell growth. This protein is found to be down-regulated in desmoid tumors by β-catenin. It regulates the expression of EGR (Early growth response)-1 and functions as an oncosuppressor in the pathogenesis of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
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.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) differs from IGFBPs 1-5 in that it binds IGF-II with marked preferential affinity over IGF-I. Human and rat IGFBP-6 lack 2 and 4 N-terminal cysteines and therefore the Gly-Cys-Gly-Cys-Cys motif present in IGFBPs 1-5.

Desmoid tumors (aggressive fibromatosis) are locally invasive soft tissue tumors in which beta-catenin-mediated TCF-3-dependent transcription is activated. To provide more insight into the pathophysiology of these tumors, expression profiles were generated using oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix). In total, 69 differentially expressed
