REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

PERP also known as P53 apoptosis effector related to PMP-22 is a protein with an approximate mass of 23 kDa. It mainly operates as an effector in the p53-dependent apoptosis pathway. PERP is known for facilitating cell-cell adhesion as a part of the desmosome complex. Researchers have found its expression primarily in epithelial tissues where it contributes to maintaining cell structure integrity. PERP's role is significant in tissues experiencing stress where it upregulates in response to p53 activation.
Biological function summary
PERP plays an active role in cellular processes like adhesion and apoptosis. As a part of the desmosome it helps in connecting epithelial cells. This function is important for preserving tissue architecture and responding to mechanical stress. PERP's involvement in apoptosis arises from its interactions in the p53 pathway supporting the process when cells require programmed death. These roles are essential for maintaining balanced cell proliferation and death key for tissue homeostasis.
Pathways
PERP is closely tied to the p53 pathway and the desmosomal adhesion process. The p53 pathway involves one of the primary tumor suppressor proteins and regulates the cell cycle while the desmosomal adhesion pathway maintains the structural cohesion between cells. PERP acts in concert with various proteins such as JUP (Plakoglobin) strengthening cellular adhesions and responding to apoptotic signals. This connectivity allows PERP to perform dual roles in maintaining cell stability and facilitating apoptosis when necessary.
PERP has associations with squamous cell carcinoma and epidermolysis bullosa. Disruption of PERP functions can lead to improper apoptosis contributing to cancer progression. In the case of epidermolysis bullosa alterations in desmosomal structure connected to PERP can weaken skin integrity leading to blistering. In these conditions proteins like JUP work alongside PERP highlighting the importance of balance between cell adhesion and controlled cell death in disease prevention.
