Ornithine Decarboxylase Antibody / ODC1

• Catalog Number: orb749727
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Recognizes a 53kDa protein, identified as the Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC-1). ODC 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 mRNA levels are elevated in lung carcinomas as well as in colon adenomas and carcinomas. ODC activity in colorectal carcinomas is greater than those in adenomas and normal mucosa.
• Clonality: Monoclonal

• Isotype: Mouse IgG2a, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human, Rat
• Buffer/Preservatives: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml rAlbumin (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Purity: Protein G affinity chromatography
• Immunogen: Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the Ornithine Decarboxylase antibody.
• UniProt ID: P11926
• Tested applications: FACS, IF, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Flow cytometry: 0.5-1ug/million cells,Immunofluorescence: 0.5-1ug/ml,Western blot: 0.5-1ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the Ornithine Decarboxylase antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes2. 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.
