| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Placenta specific 8 (PLAC8) plays a vital role in the regulation of brown adipocyte differentiation and function. Decreased expression of PLAC8 enhances the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK3β) and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to stimulate hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation. PLAC8 is highly expressed ectopically in advanced preneoplastic lesions and invasive human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Thus, it can be considered as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer. |

| 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. |
| General description: | Placenta specific 8 (PLAC8), also known as onzin, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 4q21.23. PLAC8 is a 12.5kDa, 112 amino acid protein characterized with a cysteine-rich domain. |
| Immunogen: | placenta-specific 8 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST) |
