Anti-OPA1 antibody produced in rabbit

HPA036926    Human Protein Atlas characterization data

The OPA1 (optic atrophy type 1) gene has been mapped to human chromosome 3q28–q29. This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondria-localized, dynamin-related protein. It contains a highly basic amino-terminal domain that assists in mitochondrial localization. The gene spans a length of 69kb and contains 29 exons. It is broadly expressed with highest expression in the retina.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)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.

The OPA1 (optic atrophy type 1) gene encodes a large GTPase that may function in mitochondrial biogenesis and may stabilize the integrity of mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ADOA (autosomal dominant optic atrophy), highly prevalent hereditary optic neuropathy, which is characterized by progressive loss of visual acuity, centrocoecal scotoma and bilateral temporal atrophy of the optic nerve. The disease is usually seen to surface within the first two decades of life.

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.
