Rabbit 5-LIPOXYGENASE Polyclonal Antibody | anti-ALOX5 antibody

RABBIT ANTI 5-LIPOXYGENASE (pSer523)

Cat. Num. AAA222962

• Gene Names: ALOX5; 5-LO; 5LPG; LOG5; 5-LOX
• Reactivity: Primate (Expected from Sequence), Rat
• Applications: Western Blot
• Synonyms: 5-LIPOXYGENASE; Polyclonal Antibody; RABBIT ANTI 5-LIPOXYGENASE (pSer523); anti-ALOX5 antibody

• Host: Rabbit
• Reactivity: Primate (Expected from Sequence), Rat
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Specificity: This item specifically recognises human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO, also known as arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase) when phosphorylated at Ser523. 5-LO is an enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of leukotrienes (LT's) from arachidonic acid (a polyunsaturated fatty acid), by the insertion of an oxygen into the arachidonic backbone. 5-LO requires calcium, ATP and the 5-LO-activating protein as cofactors for full activity. Leukotrienes are synthesised and secreted by leukocytes in response to immunologic or inflammatory stimuli, such as in asthma and allergic reactions. The biological effects of LT's include leukocyte chemotaxis, pulmonary airway constriction, mucous hypersecretion, vasoconstriction and increased vascular permeability. I recent years 5-LO has also been implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis and has been found in a broad variety of cancer cells.
• Form/Format: Purified; Purified IgG - liquid
• Sequence Length: 674

• Applicable Applications for anti-ALOX5 antibody: Western Blot (WB)*
• Application Notes: Western Blot: This item detects a doublet of approximately 80kDa in rat cortex lysate.; Western Blotting: Maximum Dilution: 1/1000; Application Note: ; ; ; ; * For the detection of phosphoproteins, serine phosphatase inhibitors such as 10mM Sodium Fluoride should be added to the sample buffer. Milk or other casein-based blocking solutions are not recommended as casein is a phosphoprotein and its use can result in high background.
• Perservative Stabilisers: 0.09% Sodium Azide; 0.01% Bovine Serum Albumin; 50% Glycerol
• Immunogen: Synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to an amino acid sequence within human 5-lipoxygenase which includes phosphorylated Ser523.; Buffer Solution
• Antiserum Preparation: Antisera to phosphorylated 5-lipoxygenase were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
• Target Species: Human
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C or at -20 degree C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.; Shelf Life: 18 months from date of despatch.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the lipoxygenase gene family and plays a dual role in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. The encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in bone marrow-derived cells, catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to 5(S)-hydroperoxy-6-trans-8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid, and further to the allylic epoxide 5(S)-trans-7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetrenoic acid (leukotriene A4). Leukotrienes are important mediators of a number of inflammatory and allergic conditions. Mutations in the promoter region of this gene lead to a diminished response to antileukotriene drugs used in the treatment of asthma and may also be associated with atherosclerosis and several cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
