Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
• Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human DLD recombinant protein (Position: K300-F509). Human DLD shares 96.2% and 95.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat DLD, respectively. (reported region: K300-F509).
• Molecular weight context: reported MW: 54 kDa; calculated MW: 54177 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

Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, mitochondrial; Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. DLD, Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, is a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, and the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD). DLD is a flavoprotein enzyme that degrades lipoamide, and produces dihydrolipoamide. The DLD gene contains 14 exons. The gene is localized to 7q31-q32. This gene encodes the L protein of the mitochondrial glycine cleavage system. The L protein, also named dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, is also a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, and the branched-chain alpha-keto acide dehydrogenase complex. Functional note: Lipoamide dehydrogenase is a component of the glycine cleavage system as well as of the alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complexes. Involved in the hyperactivation of spermatazoa during capacitation and in the spermatazoal acrosome reaction. Reported localization: Mitochondrion matrix. Expression/tissue context: Expressed in all tissues examined including fetal brain, fibroblasts, heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and leukocytes. Highest levels in heart and skeletal muscle. .

Common research applications

• Western blotting: compare relative DLD (Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, mitochondrial) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
• IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of DLD (Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, mitochondrial) across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
• IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
• Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
• Family / similarity context: Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.
• 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.
