Description

General description

ADAM12 (metallopeptidase domain 12) gene is mapped in human chromosome 10q26.2. ADAM12 is highly expressed in placenta. The gene encodes for two variant proteins, a full-length membrane-bound isoform (ADAM12L) and a truncated secreted variant (ADAM12S).

Immunogen

ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

ADAM12 has been used to create antibody suspension bead array to study affinity-based profiling of serum and plasma by microarray assays.

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ADAM12 (metallopeptidase domain 12) is a metalloprotease disintegrin and catalyzes cell context-dependent cleavage of transmembrane receptors, growth factor precursors, or adhesion molecules. Abnormal expression of the gene is mostly observed in many human cancers including breast, colon, hepatocellular carcinomas, glioblastomas, stomach, oral cavity, bladder, lung and giant cell tumors of bone. ADAM12 might be associated with tumor progression, metastasis, or therapy resistance. The encoded protein serves as a marker for chemoresistance in estrogen receptor-negative tumors. ADAM12 has the ability to induce cancer stem cell phenotype in breast cancer cells. Increased expression of this gene is observed during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, associated with claudin-low breast tumors. Upregulation of the gene is observed in small cell lung cancer.

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.
