Reacts with species:
human Predicted to work with: mouse, rat
Analyses
WB,IHC-P
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of mouse NADPH oxidase 4(561-578aa NRNNSYGTKFEYNKES), identical to the related rat sequence and different from the related human sequence by two amino acids.
Solubilization
The powdered antibody should be dissolved in 0.2 ml of distilled water to achieve final concentration of 500ug/ml
Storage condtions
Keep the NADPH oxidase 4 Antibodyat minus twenty degrees Celsius for 1 year. The ready-to-use solutions can be stored at four degrees Celsius for a month. Our specialsits recommend to freeze the aliquotes at minus twenty degrees Celsius for long-term application. Multiple procedures of freezing and thawing influence the specifity and reactivity of the antibody in a negative way.
Tips
The NADPH oxidase 4 Antibody did not cross-reacted with other proteins during the test procedures. This antobdy is intended to be used for research analyses and it is not applicale for in vitro diagnostics.
Background
NOX4(NADPH oxidase 4), also called RENAL NADPH OXIDASE or RENOX, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NOX4 gene, and a member of the NOX family of NADPH oxidases. Geiszt et al.(2000) stated that the nucleotide sequence of RENOX matches that found in a genomic clone on chromosome 15. In a note added in proof, they stated that genomic clones assigned to chromosome 11 also contain sequence corresponding to RENOX. By FISH, Shiose et al.(2001) mapped the NOX4 gene to chromosome 11q14.2-q21. Geiszt et al.(2000) found that NIH 3T3 fibroblasts overexpressing transfected RENOX showed increased production of superoxide and developed signs of cellular senescence. They suggested that RENOX, as a renal source of ROS, may fulfill the function of the putative oxygen sensor in the kidney. By biochemical analysis of endogenous renal NOX4, Shiose et al.(2001) determined that the enzyme can use either NADH or NADPH as an electron donor for superoxide production.
