Rabbit anti-Human, Mouse EPX Polyclonal Antibody | anti-EPX antibody
EPX antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the peroxidase gene family and is expressed in eosinophils. The encoded precursor protein is processed into covalently attached heavy and light chains to form the mature enzyme, which functions as an oxidant. The enzyme is released at sites of parasitic infection or allergen stimulation to mediate lysis of protozoa or parasitic worms. The gene is found in a cluster of three peroxidase genes at chromosome 17q23. Mutations in this gene result in eosinophil peroxidase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
Uniprot Description
EPX: Mediates tyrosine nitration of secondary granule proteins in mature resting eosinophils. Shows significant inhibitory activity towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by inducing bacterial fragmentation and lysis. Defects in EPX are the cause of eosinophil peroxidase deficiency (EPD). EPD is an autosomal recessive defect where anomalous eosinophils are characterized by nuclear hypersegmentation, hypogranulation, and negative peroxidase and phospholipid staining. Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q23.1
Molecular Function: peroxidase activity; metal ion binding; heme binding
Biological Process: positive regulation of interleukin-4 production; negative regulation of interleukin-10 production; hydrogen peroxide catabolic process; negative regulation of interleukin-5 production; response to oxidative stress; defense response to nematode

Product Notes
The EPX epx (Catalog #AAA5300507) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The EPX antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's EPX can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1 ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EPX epx 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 "EPX, 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.Precautions
