General description
Optineurin (OPTN) is a cytoplasmic protein that regulates intraocular pressure in the eye, Golgi synthesis and exocytosis. This protein also modulates the IFNβ response to infections caused by RNA viruses. Mutations in the OPTN gene have been associated with inherited adult-onset open-angle glaucoma . Anti-OPTN antibody is specific for OPTN in humans.
Immunogen
Optineurin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-OPTN 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 protein array and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige. Anti-OPTN antibody is also suitable for use in indirect immunofluorescence.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

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.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST85212.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
