ALOX5AP (FLAP, arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein, MK-886-binding protein, five-lipoxygenase activating protein)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Leukotrienes

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in Tris-saline, pH 7.3, 0.5% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the internal region of ALOX5AP.

This gene encodes a protein which, with 5-lipoxygenase, is required for leukotriene synthesis. Leukotrienes are arachidonic acid metabolites which have been implicated in various types of inflammatory responses, including asthma, arthritis and psoriasis. This protein localizes to the plasma membrane. Inhibitors of its function impede translocation of 5-lipoxygenase from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane and inhibit 5-lipoxygenase activation.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry, ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA (Peptide): 1:128, 000
Western Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml, observed a band at ~16kD in lysates of U937 and of peripheral blood mononucleocytes
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 3.75ug/ml using human spleen shows staining of select splenocytes. Requires HIER using sodium citrate buffer pH6.0 prior to staining.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
