NCBI Description
This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
Uniprot Description
OAT: Defects in OAT are the cause of hyperornithinemia with gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina (HOGA). HOGA is a slowly progressive blinding autosomal recessive disorder. Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Transferase; Amino Acid Metabolism - arginine and proline; EC 2.6.1.13; Mitochondrial
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q26
Cellular Component: mitochondrion; mitochondrial matrix
Molecular Function: ornithine-oxo-acid transaminase activity; pyridoxal phosphate binding
Biological Process: visual perception; amino acid biosynthetic process
Disease: Gyrate Atrophy Of Choroid And Retina
Product Notes
The OAT oat (Catalog #
AAA6448150) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The OAT (OKT, GACR, HOGA, OATASE, Ornithine Aminotransferase) (MaxLight 650) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's OAT can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB). IHC: 1:50-1:200 WB: 1:500-1:2000 Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OAT oat for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"OAT, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
