General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DMAB-CPT890) is a rabbit-derived monoclonal antibody raised against mouse Mouse Hmox1. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. Heme oxygenase (HMOX1) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the degradation of heme to yield equimolar quantities of biliverdin Ixa, carbon monoxide (CO), and iron. It has 3 isoforms: HO-1 is highly inducible, whereas HO-2 and HO-3 are constitutively expressed (PMID:10194478). Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is expressed in many tissues and vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells (PMID:15451051) and has been identified as an important endogenous protective factor induced in many cell types by various stimulants, such as hemolysis, infiammatory cytokines,oxidative stress, heat shock, heavy metals, and endotoxin (PMID: 11522663). And the full-length HO-1 is very unstable and susceptible to truncation that generates an inactive, soluble form (28 kDa).
DMAB-CPT890 is suitable for use in Cytometric Bead Array (1.25-20 ng/mL) application.
DMAB-CPT890 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS only. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
