Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human DDAH2, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by three amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 24 kDa; calculated MW: 29644 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, 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
N(G),N(G)-dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2; N(G),N(G)-dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2. DDAH2 is known as dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 which is mapped to 6p21.3 by radiation hybrid and FISH analysis. This gene encodes a dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase. DDAH2 functions in nitric oxide generation by regulating the cellular concentrations of methylarginines, which in turn inhibit nitric oxide synthase activity. The protein may be localized to the mitochondria. Alternative splicing resulting in multiple transcript variants. Functional note: Hydrolyzes N (G),N (G)-dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA) and N (G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (MMA) which act as inhibitors of NOS. Has therefore a role in the regulation of nitric oxide generation. . Reported localization: Cytoplasm . Mitochondrion . Translocates from cytosol to mitochondrion upon IL-1beta stimulation in chondrocytes. Expression/tissue context: Detected in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas, and at very low levels in brain. .
