AKR1B1 Antibody / Aldose reductase

SKU: orb2641458

Description

The AKR1B1 gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member catalyzes the reduction of a number of aldehydes, including the aldehyde form of glucose, and is thereby implicated in the development of diabetic complications by catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol. Multiple pseudogenes have been identified for this gene. The nomenclature system used by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee to define human aldo-keto reductase family members is known to differ from that used by the Mouse Genome Informatics database.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P, WB
• Dilution Range: Western blot: 0.5-1ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Prediluted IHC only format: incubate for 30 min at RT (1)
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  The optimal dilution of the AKR1B1 antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher. 1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
