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

General Description
The GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) gene is mapped to human chromosome 12p13.3 and encodes a tetramer containing identical chains. The enzyme is commonly known as glycolytic enzyme and contains a binding site for NAD
+(nicotinamide adenine diphosphate) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. GAPDH contributes to 10-20% of the total cellular protein and is considered to be evolutionarily conserved.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) plays an important role in DNA repair. It is essential for the sixth step of glycolysis. It participates in transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene regulation. It also controls intracellular membrane trafficking and cell death. Accumulation of GAPDH results in mitochondrial dysfunction.
