Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-Sorbitol Dehydrogenase/SORD Antibody Picoband® catalog # A07851-1.

Biological background

Biological context: Acts as an actin bundling protein. May play a pivotal role in photoreceptor cell-specific events, such as disk morphogenesis.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus., tissue context: Localized specifically in the outer and inner segments of the photoreceptor cells in the retina..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare SORD levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of SORD in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify SORD-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: Sorbitol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SORD gene. Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORD) catalyzes the interconversion of polyols and their corresponding ketoses, and together with aldose reductase, makes up the sorbitol pathway that is believed to play an important role in the development of diabetic complications. The first reaction of the pathway (also called the polyol pathway) is the reduction of glucose to sorbitol by ALDR1 with NADPH as the cofactor. SORD then oxidizes the sorbitol to fructose using NAD (+) cofactor.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Nucleus.
• Tissue details: Localized specifically in the outer and inner segments of the photoreceptor cells in the retina.
• Research category: Golgi Proteins,Protein Trafficking,Signal Transduction,Vesicle Transport
