Anti-AOX1 antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-AOX1 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma AO15 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide. Aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) comprises the 2Fe/2S clusters and two flavin adenine nucleotide (FAD) domain-containing N-terminal domain I and II, respectively. The C-terminal domain encompasses domain III with a substrate-binding site. The gene encoding AOX1 is mapped to human chromosome 2q33.1.

synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal sequence of human AOX1. The isotype is determined by ELISA using Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Isotyping Reagents (Sigma ISO-2).

Monoclonal Anti-AOX1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in reverse-phase protein array analysis(5) and immunoblotting.

Aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1), along with the endoplasmic cytochrome P450 system (CYP450), participates in the drug metabolism and generation of reactive oxygen species. It also has a role in the hepatic phase I metabolism of numerous xenobiotics. Reduced AOX1 protein expression is implicated in chronic pancreatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, hypermethylation of the AOX1 promoter region is observed in colon cancer and prostate cancer, making it a potential biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis. Polymorphism in the AOX1 gene also displays variation in metabolism of the quinoxaline phenoxypropionic acid derivative XK469.

Monoclonal Anti-AOX1 recognizes human AOX1.

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

For extended storage, freeze at -20 °C in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing,or storage in “frost-free” freezers,isnot recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
