DescriptionGAPDH Tag Antibody recognizes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a 36kD multifunctional protein whose main function is to catalyse the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, in conjunction with inorganic phosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). This reaction is an important energy yielding step in carbohydrate metabolism.GAPDH has also been shown to translocate to the nucleus under a variety of stressors, most of which are associated with oxidative stress, whereby it mediates cell death. A further report has shown that GAPDH binds to several proteins that are responsible for neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyloid precursor protein and Huntingtin.Antibody TypeMonoclonal AntibodyPurificationPurified IgG - liquidImmunogenHuman cardiac muscle GADPHIsotypeIgG1Size200 µgFormulationPhosphate buffered saline. 0.09% Sodium Azide (NaN3) SpecificityBovine; Cat; Dog; Fish; Goat; Mouse; Pig; Rabbit; RatStorageStore at +4ºC or at -20ºC if preferred.
