PrEST Antigen HSD17B2, 100µL (APrEST72827) | Atlas Antibodies™

Atlas Antibodies PrEST Antigen HSD17B2 (APrEST72827) is a recombinant Protein Epitope Signature Tag (PrEST) antigen, the same defined protein fragment used to raise the corresponding Human Protein Atlas antibody. PrEST antigens are engineered to cover a unique, low-homology region of the target protein, minimizing cross-reactivity with related family members. This precise design makes them a reliable reference reagent for antibody validation work.

It is commonly used as a blocking peptide and positive control antigen to confirm antibody specificity in immunodetection assays, and as a reference standard in assay development. Running this antigen alongside the corresponding antibody helps confirm that observed signal is genuinely target-specific. This product should be stored and handled according to the manufacturer's recommended conditions to preserve activity and specificity.
