Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human Xanthine Oxidase recombinant protein (Position: T2-K343). Human Xanthine Oxidase shares 86.8% and 89.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Xanthine Oxidase, respectively. (reported region: T2-K343).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 146 kDa; calculated MW: 146424 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IHC, IHC-F, 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
Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase. Xanthine dehydrogenase, also known as XDH, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the XDH gene. Xanthine dehydrogenase belongs to the group of molybdenum-containing hydroxylases involved in the oxidative metabolism of purines. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Xanthine dehydrogenase can be converted to xanthine oxidase by reversible sulfhydryl oxidation or by irreversible proteolytic modification. Defects in xanthine dehydrogenase cause xanthinuria, may contribute to adult respiratory stress syndrome, and may potentiate influenza infection through an oxygen metabolite-dependent mechanism. Functional note: Key enzyme in purine degradation. Catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine. Catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. Contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Has also low oxidase activity towards aldehydes (in vitro). . Reported localization: Cytoplasm . Peroxisome . Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Detected in milk (at protein level). .
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how XDH relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative XDH levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of XDH 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.
- 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.
