Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Metabolizes several precarcinogens, drugs, and solvents to reactive metabolites. .
Scientific background (datasheet): CYP2E1, also known as P450IIE1, is a member of the P450IIE subfamily which is ethanol-inducible. It has at least 1 gene which is mapped to 10q24.3-qter, and a second is likely in rat and in man. Both the rat and human proteins encoded by this gene contain 493 amino acids and calculated molecular masses of 56,634 and 56,916 daltons, respectively. In addition, genetic polymorphisms in the 5-prime flanking region of the human P450IIE1 gene affected its binding of transacting factor and changed its transcriptional regulation, which may lead to interindividual differences of microsomal drug oxidation activity. P450IIE1 is an important enzyme for the catalysis of the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde and to acetate in humans,and it is also involved in the metabolism of nitrosamines. Due to the possible correlation of P450IIE1 genes with malignancy, clinical studies of RFLP patterns of these genes in cancer may be useful.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
Tissue details (datasheet): Highest level in the liver and to a lesser extent in the kidney, with a higher level in the male kidney than in the female.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cancer,Cardiovascular,Cytochromes,Drug Metabolism,Lipases,Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism,Lipid Metabolism,Lipids/Lipoproteins,Metabolic Signaling Pathways,Metabolism,Mitochondrial Metabolism,Pathways and Processes,Signal Transduction.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
