Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived rat PON1 recombinant protein (Position: A30-D274). (reported region: A30-D274).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 43 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, 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
paraoxonase 1. Serum paraoxonase/arylesterase 1 (PON1), also known as aromatic esterase 1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PON1 gene. It is mapped to 7q21.3. This gene has esterase and more specifically paraoxonase activity. PON1 is responsible for hydrolysing organophosphate pesticides and nerve gasses. Polymorphisms in the PON1 gene significantly affect the catalytic ability of the enzyme. PON1 (paraoxonase 1) is also a major anti-atherosclerotic component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The PON1 gene is activated by PPAR-γ, which increases synthesis and release of paraoxonase 1 enzyme from the liver, reducing atherosclerosis. Functional note: Hydrolyzes the toxic metabolites of a variety of organophosphorus insecticides. Capable of hydrolyzing a broad spectrum of organophosphate substrates and lactones, and a number of aromatic carboxylic acid esters. Mediates an enzymatic protection of low density lipoproteins against oxidative modification. Reported localization: Secreted, extracellular space. Expression/tissue context: Plasma. Associated with HDL.
Research relevance and current trends
- Atherosclerosis: Researchers commonly examine how Pon1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how Pon1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cardiovascular: Researchers commonly examine how Pon1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative Pon1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of Pon1 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- 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.
