    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #2033. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #2033

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    DHCR24/Seladin-1 (C59D8) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) detects endogenous levels of total DHCR24/Seladin-1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence of human DHCR24/Seladin-1.

    Background

    DHCR24/Seladin-1 was identified as a molecular basis for desmosterolosis (1). It encodes for 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (3β-hydroxysterol Δ-24-reductase). This enzyme reduces desmosterol in cholesterol biosynthesis (1). Recessive mutations in this gene in desmosterolosis patients lead to a defective enzyme resulting in increased levels of desmosterol (1). DHCR24/Seladin-1 is induced upon oxidative stress and was found to mediate Ras-induced senescence resulting from increased reactive oxygen species (2). Studies further indicate that the level of DHCR24/Seladin-1 is induced in the acute response and reduced in the chronic response to oxidative stress in a cholesterol dependent manner (3). Moreover, overexpression of DHCR24/Seladin-1 bearing two mutations that abolish its reductase acitivity causes the cells to lose protection from oxidative stress (3). These findings thus link the reductase activity of DHCR24/Seladin-1 to its protective role in oxidative stress. This enzyme has also been demonstrated to be a hydrogen peroxide scavenger (4).
