Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project 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. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
ME2 (malic enzyme 2) is responsible for the conversion of malate to pyruvate. Recessively inherited inactivation of this gene might indirectly result in suppressed synthesis of the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), as this enzyme is the source of pyruvate for GABA. It is also thought to catalyze the ultimate conversion of malate to citrate. In post-mortem brains of patients with psychotic or manic disorders, such as schizophreni and bipolar disorders, the expression of this protein is 5.6-times lower in anterior cingulate tissue. It plays an essential role in tumorigenesis, and its inactivation leads to suppressed tumor cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis.
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:
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.

Mitochondrial production of H(2)O(2) is low with NAD substrates (glutamate/pyruvate, 3 and 2 mM) (G/P) and increases over ten times upon further addition of succinate, with the formation of a sigmoidal curve (semimaximal value at 290 microM, maximal H(2)O(2) production

Despite interest in malic enzyme(ME)s in insulin cells, mitochondrial malic enzyme (ME2) has only been studied with estimates of mRNA or with mRNA knockdown. Because an mRNA's level does not necessarily reflect the level of its cognate enzyme, we designed

Pancreatic β-cells with severely knocked down cytosolic malic enzyme (ME1) and mitochondrial NAD(P) malic enzyme (ME2) show normal insulin secretion. The mitochondrial NADP malic enzyme (ME3) is very low in pancreatic β-cells, and ME3 was previously thought unimportant for insulin

Malic enzyme 2 (ME2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of malate to pyruvate and CO2 and uses NAD as a cofactor. Higher expression of this enzyme correlates with the degree of cell de-differentiation. We found that ME2

The cytosolic malic enzyme (ME1) has been suggested to augment insulin secretion via the malate-pyruvate and/or citrate-pyruvate shuttles, through the production of NADPH or other metabolites. We used selectable vectors expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to stably decrease Me1 mRNA
