Uses
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. To view these

Biological Activity
BRD2 encodes a mitogen-activated kinase which localizes to the nucleus. BRD2 maps to the major histocompatability complex (MHC) class II region on chromosome 6p21.3 but sequence comparison suggests th at the protein is not involved in the immune response. Homology to the Drosophila gene female sterile homeotic suggests th at this human gene may be part of a signal transduction pathway involved in growth control.
