Gene Information

human ... PAFAH1B1(5048)

General description

PAFAH1B1 (Platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b regulatory subunit 1) encodes a protein referred to as Lis1. It is located on the chromosome location 17p13.3. The gene spans ~92 kb at the genomic level. It consists of a N-terminal coiled-coil domain and seven WD40 repeats at the C-terminus end.

Immunogen

Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit alpha recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

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

PAFAH1B1 (Platelet activating factor acetyl hydrolase 1b regulatory subunit 1) majorly participates in the neuronal migration pathway during brain development. It is a non-catalytic regulatory subunit of platelet activating factor (PAF) acetyl hydrolase 1b (Pafah1b) complex. During neuronal migration, it conjugates with PAFAH1B2 and PAFAH1B3 to control the concentration of platelet activating factor in the brain. Deleted gene expression of PAFAH1B1 has been reported in the 7p13.3 deletion syndrome or Miller-Dieker syndrome with mental retardation and facial dysmorphism. Heterozygous mutations of the gene cause type 1 lissencephaly characterized with impaired neuronal migration and reduction in the number of cortical gyri.

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.
