PHB Antibody / Prohibitin

This antibody recognizes a protein of 30kDa which is identified as Prohibitin (PHB), an evolutionarily conserved protein with homologues found in yeast to man. It is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Although PHB mRNA and protein expression occurs throughout the cell cycle, maximum levels are detected during the G1/S phase transition and minimum levels are seen in S phase and the G2/mitosis boundary. Prohibitin is located exclusively in the mitochondria with the highest concentration on the inner membrane. It is an ideal mitochondrial marker. It shows anti-proliferative activity and has been proposed to play a role in normal cell cycle regulation, replicative senescence, cellular immortalization, and tumor suppression.
