Anti-TPK1 antibody produced in rabbit, 1 X 100 µL (HPA021849-100UL)

TPK1 (Thiamin pyrophosphokinase 1) is widely expressed gene mapped on chromosome location 7q34. In humans, it is highly expressed in testis, small intestine and kidney with lesser but detectable expression in brain, liver, placenta and spleen. Anti-TPK1 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. Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals. Thiamin pyrophosphokinase 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST) TPK1 (Thiamine pyrophosphokinase 1) plays an important role in the thiamine metabolism. Specific transporters translocate thiamine into the cell and TPK1 catalyzes the activation of TPP (Thiamine pyrophosphate) in the cytosol. TPP plays an essential role in the pyruvate oxidation pathway. Mutation in TPK1 decreases TPK protein levels in the cells. 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.
