Monoclonal Anti-DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC) antibody produced in mouse

产品说明

一般描述

DDC is a 85-90 kDa molecular weight protein that is mainly expressed in brain, kidney and liver.
Monoclonal Anti-DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC) (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the DDC-109 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.

应用

Monoclonal Anti-DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC) antibody produced in mouse may also be used in immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry and ELISA applications. In immunocytochemical labeling of brain tissue, the product stains the monoaminergic cells and proximal dendrites, but not cortical fibers. It is suitable for use in western blotting at a working dilution of 1:1000 using bovine brain extract. It was used for immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation of AADC (aromatic amino acid decarboxylase) from rat striatum in a study. It was used as a primary antibody for western blotting and co-immunoprecipitation studies using human embryonic kidney cells and human neuroblastoma cells.

生化/生理作用

DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC), which requires pyridoxal phosphate for its activity, decarboxylates 5-hydroxytryptophan to form serotonin. It also decarboxylates L-DOPA to form dopamine in both dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons.
DOPA decarboxylase (DDC, EC 4.1.1.28), catalyzes the decarboxylation of the 5-hydroxytrptophan (5-HTP) to 5-HT. It requires pyridoxal phosphate for its activity. This is the enzyme that also decarboxylates L-DOPA to form dopamine in both dopaminergic and noradrenergic.. Antibodies that react specifically with the enzyme enable the identification of both noradrenergic, dopaminergic, and serotoninergic systems, since DDC is present and active in all three types of neurons.
