Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human CYP2E1 recombinant protein (Position: M1-Y310). Human CYP2E1 shares 73% and 74% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat CYP2E1, respectively. (reported region: M1-Y310).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 55 kDa; calculated MW: 56849 MW
- Reactivity: Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, 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
Cytochrome P450 2E1; Cytochrome P450 2E1. Cytochrome P450 2E1 (abbreviated CYP2E1), a member of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system, is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body. In humans, the CYP2E1 enzyme is encoded by the CYP2E1 gene. It is mapped to 10q26.3. While it is involved in the oxidative metabolism of a small range of substrates (mostly small polar molecules), there are many important drug interactions mediated by CYP2E1. Most drugs undergo deactivation by CYP2E1, either ly or by facilitated excretion from the body. Also, many substances are bioactivated by CYP2E1 to form their active compounds. In addition, CYP2E1 is an important enzyme for the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde and to acetate in humans. In the conversion sequence of acetyl-CoA to glucose, CYP2E1 transforms acetone via acetol into propylene glycol and methylglyoxal, the precursors of pyruvate, acetate and lactate. Functional note: Metabolizes several precarcinogens, drugs, and solvents to reactive metabolites. Inactivates a number of drugs and xenobiotics and also bioactivates many xenobiotic substrates to their hepatotoxic or carcinogenic forms. Reported localization: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in lung, spleen, heart, liver and kidney. Moderate levels in brain and skeletal muscle, and low in testis. Also found in many cell lines, highest expression in cells of the immune system.
