Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human Argininosuccinate Lyase/ASL, which shares 97.4% and 92.1% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Argininosuccinate Lyase/ASL, respectively.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 52 kDa; calculated MW: 51658 MW
- Reactivity: Mouse,Rat
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Argininosuccinate lyase. ASL (argininosuccinatelyase, also known as argininosuccinase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible breakdown of argininosuccinate (ASA) producing the amino acid arginine and dicarboxylic acid fumarate. Located in liver cytosol, ASL is the fourth enzyme of the urea cycle and involved in the biosynthesis of arginine in all species and the production of urea in ureotelic species. Mutations in ASL, resulting low activity of the enzyme, increase levels of urea in the body and result in various side effects. The ASL gene is located on chromosome 7 between the centromere (junction of the long and short arm) and the long (q) arm at position 11.2, from base pair 64,984,963 to base pair 65,002,090. Functional note: Cleaves collagens of types I, II, and III at one site in the helical domain. Also cleaves collagens of types VII and X. In case of HIV infection, interacts and cleaves the secreted viral Tat protein, leading to a decrease in neuronal Tat's mediated neurotoxicity. Reported localization: Extracellular matrix.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how ASL relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Energy Metabolism: Researchers commonly examine how ASL relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Energy Transfer Pathways: Researchers commonly examine how ASL relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative ASL levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
