Aldo-keto Reductase 1C1/AKR1C1 Antibody (X197) Summary

• Immunogen: The antibody reacts with the C9 antigen.
• Specificity: Human C9 is a soluble glycoprotein of 61 kD. It is the last component in the assembly of the membrane attack complex (MAC). When the complement is activated on target membranes, multiple copies of C9 bind to the C5b-8 complex and assemble the barrel-shaped pore which causes cell lysis. The conformation of C9 changes from globular to a tubular form. The binding of C9 to C5b-8 plays a key role in the function of C9.
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: AKR1C1
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Flow Cytometry 1:10-1:1000
  • Immunohistochemistry 1:10-1:500
  • Immunohistochemistry-Frozen 1:10-1:500
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1:10-1:500
  • Western Blot 1:100-1:2000
• Application Notes: The antibody can be used for immuno assays, flow cytometry and Western blotting. Furthermore the antibody is useful for immunohistology on frozen and paraffin sections and inhibition of C9 binding to C5b-8.For immunohistology, flow cytometry and Western blotting dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10. For neutralization of biological activity dilutions have to be made according to the amounts C9 to be inactivated.

Background

This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by utilizing NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme catalyzes the reaction of progesterone to the inactive form 20-alpha-hydroxy-progesterone. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14.
