Anti-NQO1 (NAD(P)H Dehydrogenase Quinone 1, Azoreductase, Cytochrome b-5 Reductase, DHQU, Diaphorase

This gene is a member of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) family and encodes a cytoplasmic 2-electron reductase. This FAD-binding protein forms homodimers and reduces quinones to hydroquinones. This protein's enzymatic activity prevents the one electron reduction of quinones that results in the production of radical species. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD), an increased risk of hematotoxicity after exposure to benzene, and susceptibility to various forms of cancer. Altered expression of this protein has been seen in many tumors and is also associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. , Recommended Dilutions: Peptide ELISA Titer: 1:64,000, Western Blot: 0.03-1ug/ml ~30kD band observed in Human Kidney and Lung lysates (calculated MW of 30.9kD according to NP_000894.1)., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
