Rabbit anti-Human, Rat PDE5A Polyclonal Antibody | anti-PDE5A antibody
Anti-PDE5A Antibody
Immunohistochemistry(IHC) Paraffin: 0.5-1ug/ml
By Heat: Boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0, for 20mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections.
Other applications have not been tested.
Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of PDE5A expression in rat lung extract (lane 1) and PANC-1 whole cell lysates(lane 2). PDE5A at 100KD was detected using rabbit anti- PDE5A Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5ug/mL. The blot was developed using chemiluminescence (ECL) method. )
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(PDE5A was detected in paraffin-embedded sections of human thyroid cancer tissues using rabbit anti- PDE5A Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 1ug/mL. The immunohistochemical section was developed using SABC method. )
Background: cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 is an enzyme from the phosphodiesterase class. It is found in various tissues, most prominently the corpus cavernosum and the retina. It has also been recently discovered to play a vital role in the cardiovascular system. Furthermore, PDE5A also plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides. This PDE5A gene is mapped to 4q26.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. This phosphodiesterase specifically hydrolyzes cGMP to 5'-GMP. It is involved in the regulation of intracellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides and is important for smooth muscle relaxation in the cardiovascular system. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
PDE5A: a cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. This phosphodiesterase specifically hydrolyzes cGMP to 5'-GMP. It is involved in the regulation of intracellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides and is important for smooth muscle relaxation in the cardiovascular system. Phosphorylation is regulated by binding of cGMP to the two allosteric sites. Sildenafil (Viagra) is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of PDE5A. Alternative splicing results in four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Product Notes
The PDE5A pde5a (Catalog #AAA178667) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-PDE5A Antibody reacts with Human, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PDE5A can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin. Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml Immunohistochemistry(IHC) Paraffin: 0.5-1ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PDE5A pde5a 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 "PDE5A, 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
