Cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4) also called as p63 is a 63kDa protein, which belongs to the family of type II transmembrane receptor. This membrane protein consists of NH2 terminus with 106-amino acid-long cytosolic tail and a transmembrane domain and an extracytoplasmic domain of 474 aa at the COOH terminus.
Synonyms: Anti-63 kDa membrane protein antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-p63 antibody produced in rabbit
Storage: -20C
Application: 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: Cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4) has a high binding affinity to anti proliferative factor (APF). The anti-CKAP4/p63 antibodies can act as effective inhibitors of anti-proliferative activity of APF. The CKAP4 protein helps APF in antiproliferative activity in primary normal bladder epithelial cells. It also acts as a substrate for palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC2, which is a putative tumour suppressor. It might act as a prognostic marker for intrahepatic cholangio carcinoma (ICC).
