Anti-Prosaposin Antibody

Western blot analysis of Prosaposin expression in HEK293 (A), C6 (B), HT1080 (C) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 58 kD; Observed band size: 55 kD)
Immunohistochemical analysis of Prosaposin staining in human prostate formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
Immunofluorescent analysis of Prosaposin staining in Hela cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with an AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. Phalloidin - AF594 was used to stain Actin filaments (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells using Anti-Prosaposin Antibody (green) and negative control (red).

Protein Information
Name	PSAP (HGNC:9498)
Synonyms	GLBA, SAP1
Function	Saposins are specific low-molecular mass non-enzymatic glycoproteins that act as activator proteins for lysosomal sphingolipid-degrading enzymes, facilitating the hydrolysis of sphingolipids by extracting lipid substrates from membranes and presenting them to their respective enzymes. They are derived from a common precursor protein, prosaposin, which is proteolytically cleaved to yield four homologous proteins (saposin A, B, C, and D), each with distinct but partially overlapping lipid and enzyme specificities.
Cellular Location	Lysosome
