ANTI-ARACHIDONATE 5 LIPOXYGENASE

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The gene ALOX5 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase), also referred to as 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase), encodes a protein belonging to the lipoxygenase family. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 10q11.21. The protein contains a distinct ‘C2-like’ domain at the amino terminal that is involved in Ca2+-dependent membrane binding and a large catalytic domain containing the non-heme catalytic iron. It is highly unstable with short-lived activity._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Arachidonate 5 Lipoxygenase._x000D_ Immunogen Range: 246-295_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ The gene ALOX5 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase) encodes a lipoxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) and other fatty acids to bioactive compounds such as 5(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), and other leukotrienes. These leukotrienes and lipoxins function as mediators of inflammatory response. ALOX5 has been implicated in tumorigenesis and may serve as a potential therapeutic target and biomarker._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
