Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets 5-oxoprolinase (gene OPLAH) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 137.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 140 kDa.
5-Oxoprolinase (OPLAH) converts 5-oxoproline (pyroglutamate) to glutamate using ATP. This step is part of the γ-glutamyl cycle that recycles glutathione, and OPLAH is studied in glutathione metabolism and oxidative stress.

Immunogen
Recombinant human OPLAH fragment (His788–Glu1072), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places 5-oxoprolinase in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
