Notes

Powered by EDIGENE.
Validation of antibody specificity is critical and verification of antibody performance against knockout samples is one way to guarantee that an antibody recognizes a specific target. Novus' KO cell lysate can be used as a negative control for western blots and to confirm the specificity of antibodies.

Background

This gene encodes a member of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 group IV family. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids to release arachidonic acid which is subsequently metabolized into eicosanoids. Eicosanoids, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, are lipid-based cellular hormones that regulate hemodynamics, inflammatory responses, and other intracellular pathways. The hydrolysis reaction also produces lysophospholipids that are converted into platelet-activating factor. The enzyme is activated by increased intracellular Ca(2+) levels and phosphorylation, resulting in its translocation from the cytosol and nucleus to perinuclear membrane vesicles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

FAQs for PLA2G4A Lysate (NBP2-65205). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. Hi. Actually I want to purchase anti cPLA2 antibody raised in rabbit which can bind to both phorphorylated and unphosphorylated mouse cPLA2 group IV. I want to a gel shift assay with western blotting to show that my protein of interest is causing the phosphorylation of cPLA2 inside the mouse macrophages RAW cells.Can you please tell me which antibody would be suitable for the purpose. Thanks a lot.
   • Here are our antibodies raised in rabbit that have been validated to detect cPLA2 in mouse samples in a western blot. We have not specifically confirmed the ability of these antibodies to detect both the phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of the protein, and I cannot guarantee that they will clearly differentiate between the two.
