Application

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.Anti-ZEB1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ZEB1 (zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1) is an EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) transcription factor and controls the expression of E-cadherin. It works as a repressor for E-cadherin and thereby induces EMT. Thus, ZEB1 plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Epigenetic suppression of ZEB1 might be a useful tool for overcoming drug resistance in human breast cancer. Mutations in this gene are associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and Fuchs′ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD6). The ZEB1 gene is mapped to human chromosome 10p11.2.

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.
