Anti-Glutamate Dehydrogenase

This antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a full length Glutamate Dehydrogenase protein isolated from Bovine Liver.

This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of receipt.

This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against purified and partially purified Glutamate Dehydrogenase [Bovine Liver]. BLAST analysis was used to determine that cross reactivity is suggested for both mitochondrial and brain isoforms (GDH1 and GDH2), from both bovine and human sources. Additionally similar reactivity is suggested for most primate species including green monkey, white gibbon, chimpanzee orangutan, and gorilla. A high degree of sequence homology is also noted for GDH from chicken, mouse, rat, dog, and other mammals as well as Xenopus tropicalis, zebrafish, rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. Cross reactivity against Glutamate Dehydrogenase from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined.

This antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Bovine glutamate dehydrogenase exists as a homohexamer located within the mitochondrial matrix. Expect a band approximately 62 kDa in size corresponding to glutamate dehydrogenase monomer subunit by western blotting in the appropriate cell or tissue extract.
