Anti-Nitrotyrosine, clone 3G210

The presence of nitrotyrosine has been detected in various inflammatory processes including atherosclerotic plaques. Nitrotyrosine is formed in tissues in the presence of the active metabolite NO. Various pathways including the formation of peroxynitrite lead to nitrotyrosine production. It is still unknown whether nitration is merely a footprint of oxidative stress, an important pathway of nitric oxide metabolism or a part of integral processes for maintaining cellular homeostasis.
