Characteristics
CYP450 26 (EC 1.14.-.-), Retinoic acid-metabolizing cytochrome, P450 retinoic acid-inactivating 1, P450RAI, hP450RAI, Retinoic acid 4-hydroxylase,The cytochrome P450 proteins (CYPs) are monooxygenases that catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. P450 enzymes are classified into subfamilies based on their sequence similarities. CYP26A1, also referred to as retinoic acid-4-hydroxylase, is a major retinoic acid catabolic enzyme. CYP26A1 plays an important role in protecting tailbud tissues from inappropriate exposure to retinoic acid. CYP26A1 transcription is epigenetically regulated by nuclear retinoic acid receptors 2. Mutations in the gene encoding for CYP26A1 are associated with caudal agenesis and spina bifida, imperforate anus, agenesis of the caudal portions of the digestive and urogenital tracts, and malformed lumbosacral skeletal elements. CYP26A1 is upregulated in adenomatous polyposis coli mouse adenomas, human FAP adenomas, human sporadic colon carcinomas, and in the intestine of adenomatous polyposis coli(mcr) mutant zebrafish embryos.
Purification
Protein A/G Chromatography
Immunogen
Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminus of the human CYP450 26A1 protein and mouse myeloma Ag8563 cells.
Antibody can be used for Western blotting (1-2 μg/mL) and immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues (1-5 μg/mL). Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
