Anti-Prohibitin Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Anti-PHB antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, 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. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biological Activity

PHB (prohibitin) gene encodes an antiproliferative protein th at is localized in the inner membrane of mitochondria. It controls several cellular control activities such as cell proliferation, cristae morphogenesis and the functional integrity of mitochondria. It also reflects scaffolding function during functional compartmentalization in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Prohibitin associates with Rb family proteins and suppresses their binding to E2F transcription factors, thus inhibiting E2F-mediated transcription and cell proliferation. It is a potential tumor suppressor gene.
