Human Protein Atlas Number: | HPA014468 Human Protein Atlas characterization data |
The gene APCDD1 (adenomatosis polyposis coli down-regulated 1) encodes a glycoprotein that is membrane-bound and is expressed mainly in human hair follicles. It is also abundantly expressed in adult heart, pancreas, prostate, and ovary. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 18p11.22. The gene spans a length of 40kb and contains five exons. The encoded protein is 514-amino acid long and has a molecular mass of 58.8kDa.

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions
The gene APCDD1 (adenomatosis polyposis coli down-regulated 1) encodes a protein that functions as an inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. It is targeted by β-catenin/Tcf4 (transcription factor 4) complex and is involved in cell proliferation. The expression of this protein is found to be increased in colon cancers and may serve as a diagnostic marker. Polymorphism in this gene is associated with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, characterized by normal hair at birth and a gradual hair loss beginning in early childhood.
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.
