Ornithine Decarboxylase Antibody / ODC1

• Catalog Number: orb248486
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This antibody recognizes a 53kDa protein, identified as the Ornithine Decarboxylase. ODC-1 is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of polyamines and is involved in the conversion of ornithine to putrescine. The biological activity of ODC-1 is rapidly induced in response to virtually all agents known to promote cell proliferation including hormones, drugs, growth factors, mitogens, and tumor promoters. Reportedly, ODC-1 mRNA levels are elevated in lung carcinomas as well as in colon adenomas and carcinomas. Activity in colorectal carcinomas is greater than those in adenomas and normal mucosa.

• Application notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.2. 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.
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
