Der Kaninchen Polyklonal anti-ATP7A Antikörper wird verwendet zum Nachweis von ATP7A in Proben von Human, Ratte und Maus. Er wurde validiert für IHC (p).
The copper efflux transporters ATP7A and ATP7B sequester intracellular copper into the vesicular secretory pathway for export from the cell. ATP7A functions as a transmembrane copper-translocating P-type ATPase and plays a vital role in systemic copper absorption in the gut and copper reabsorption in the kidney. Polarized epithelial cells such as Madin-Darby canine kidney cells are a physiologically relevant model for systemic copper absorption and reabsorption in vivo. Although ATP7A is not detectable in most normal tissues it is expressed in a considerable fraction of many common tumor types. Increased expression of ATP7A renders cells resistant to cisplatin and carboplatin.Synonyms: Copper pump 1, Copper-transporting ATPase 1, MC1, MNK, Menkes disease-associated protein
