Anti-Cysteine dioxygenase type 1 CDO1 Antibody

CDO1 (cysteine dioxygenase, type I) belongs to the cysteine dioxygenase family and is involved in organosulfur biosynthesis (1) . CDO1 functions as a dioxygenase that uses iron and zinc as cofactors to catalyze the conversion of L-cysteine and oxygen to 3-sulfinoalanine (1,2) . CDO1 exists as a monomer and is expressed at high levels in liver and placenta and at lower levels in brain, pancreas and heart (1) . CDO1 is involved in pyruvate-, sulfate- and taurine-related metabolic pathways and is a crucial regulator of cysteine concentrations within the cell (3,4) .

CDO1 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human CDO1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of CDO1.

Initiates several important metabolic pathways related to pyruvate and several sulfurate compounds including sulfate, hypotaurine and taurine. Critical regulator of cellular cysteine concentrations. Has an important role in maintaining the hepatic concentation of intracellular free cysteine within a proper narrow range.
