Malondialdehyde Antibody: PerCP

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is the biomarker in greatest diagnostic use, due to its molecular stability. This three-carbon, low-molecular weight aldehyde has a strong affinity for amino acids, which results in adduct formation to both free amino acids and proteins. Increased MDA levels have been found at correlating levels in breast cancer, and lung cancer patients. Other diseased states with elevated MDA levels include diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Multiple laboratory techniques exist for quantification of MDA levels, including the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay. In addition to use as a biomarker, MDA has been shown to have mutagenic effects on tissues themselves as adduct formation can result in DNA cross-linking.

Specific for Malondialdehyde conjugated proteins. Does not detect free Malondialdehyde. Does not cross-react with Acrolein, Crotonaldehyde, Hexanoyl Lysine, 4-Hydroxy-2-hexenal, 4-Hydroxy nonenal, or Methylglyoxal modified proteins.

A 1:1000 dilution of SMC-514 was sufficient for detection of Malondialdehyde in 2 µg of Malondialdehyde conjugated to BSA by ECL immunoblot analysis using Goat Anti-Mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary Antibody.
