HYAL1 Antibody

HYAL1 is a lysosomal hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidases intracellularly degrade hyaluronan, one of the major glycosaminoglycans of the extracellular matrix. Hyaluronan is thought to be involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. This enzyme is active at an acidic pH and is the major hyaluronidase in plasma. Mutations in HYAL1 are associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type IX, or hyaluronidase deficiency. HYAL1 is one of several related genes in a region of chromosome 3p21.3 associated with tumor suppression. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for HYAL1.This gene encodes a lysosomal hyaluronidase.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store HYAL1 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

HYAL1 antibody can be used for detection of HYAL1 by ELISA at 1:62500. HYAL1 antibody can be used for detection of HYAL1 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
