ALOX15 polyclonal antibody

Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators. It inserts peroxyl groups at C12 or C15 of arachidonate ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoate producing both 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate/12-HPETE and 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate/15-HPETE. It may then act on 12-HPETE to produce hepoxilins, which may show proinflammatory properties (By similarity. Can also peroxidize linoleate ((9Z,12Z-octadecadienoate to 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoate/13-HPODE. May participate in the sequential oxidations of DHA ((4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoate to generate specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMslike resolvin D5 ((7S,17S-diHPDHA and (7S,14S-diHPDHA, that actively downregulate the immune response and have anti-aggregation properties with platelets. Can convert epoxy fatty acids to hydroperoxy-epoxides derivatives followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution leading to the formation of monocyclic endoperoxides. Plays an important role during the maintenance of self-tolerance by peroxidizing membrane-bound phosphatidylethanolamine which can then signal the sorting process for clearance of apoptotic cells during inflammation and prevent an autoimmune response.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded mouse intestin using ALOX15 Rabbit pAb at dilution of 1:25 .Perform high pressure antigen retrieval with 10 mM citrate buffer pH 6.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
