Western Blot (WB)

(Western Blot analysis in mouse liver, kidney tissue lysates (15ug/lane) usingMBS6010126. This demonstrates that MBS6010126 detected DDC protein (arrow).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Immunohistochemistry analysis in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded human hepatocarcinoma using MBS6010126 followed by peroxidase conjugation of the secondary antibody and DAB staining.)

Immunofluorescence (IF)

(Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HepG2 cell using MBS6010126 followed by Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit lgG (green). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclear (blue).)

Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)

(Flow cytometric analysis of HepG2 cells (bottom histogram) using MBS6010126 compared to a negative control cell (top histogram). FITC-conjugated goat-anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were used for the analysis.)

Related Product Information for anti-DDC antibody

This protein catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. Defects in this gene are the cause of aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD). AADCD deficiency is an inborn error in neurotransmitter metabolism that leads to combined serotonin and catecholamine deficiency.

NCBI Description

The encoded protein catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. Defects in this gene are the cause of aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD). AADCD deficiency is an inborn error in neurotransmitter metabolism that leads to combined serotonin and catecholamine deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
