| Antigen: |
A synthetic peptide (FEKGDVNGEKEQKFYTFLKN) corresponding to the amino acids 135-154 of human glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx-P) conjugated to diphtheria toxin has been used as the immunogen. The peptide is homologous with the corresponding sequence derived from glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx-P) protein in mouse, rat, orangutan and bovine. |
| Other Names: |
Extracellular glutathione peroxidase, GPx-P, GSHPx-3, GPx-3, Plasma glutathione peroxidase, GSHPx-P, GENE NAME: GPX3, GPXP |
| Accession: |
GPX3_HUMAN |
| Description: |
GPx-P belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family which are responsible for the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide. It protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. GPx-P is secreted in plasma and exists as a homotetramer. |
| Produced in: |
NZ white rabbit |
| Purity: |
Whole serum |
| Applications: |
IHC, WB. This is an extremely high titre antibody that detects 500 ng of peptide antigen on western blotting up to a dilution of 1: 500000. A dilution o f 1: 1000 to 1: 5000 is recommended for immunohistochemistry depending on detection method but end user will need to determine dilution to suit application. Antigen retrieval is recommended. For Western blotting it is recommended that several dilutions be tested in the range 1: 5000 to 1: 50000 although higher dilutions could be use if the antigen is in abundance in sample. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity: |
This antibody has been shown to be specific for glutathione peroxidase 3 protein (GPx-P). |
| Cross-react: |
Human and rat, other species have not yet been ested. |
| Blast it: |
If you would like to use this product in another species other than those specified here, or to see the shared identity between the immunogen used here in different species and/or other molecules, simply copy the immunogen (from the Immunogen field) and paste it HERE and blast/format it. Note that, antisera raised against synthetic peptides are quite often very specific for that peptide ie, only one single amino acid difference may be enough to restrict the specificity to a particular molecule. Regardless, you can always contact us if you need assistance with this. |
