Application Note: This antibody has been tested by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Bovine glutamate dehydrogenase exists as a homohexamer located within the mitochondrial matrix. Expect a band approximately 56 kDa in size corresponding to glutamate dehydrogenase monomer subunit by western blotting in the appropriate cell or tissue extract. Anti-Glutamate Dehydrogenase Antibody is suitable for use in ELISA.

Immunogen: This antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a full length Glutamate Dehydrogenase protein isolated from Bovine Liver.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-rabbit serum, purified and partially purified Glutamate Dehydrogenase [Bovine Liver]. BLAST analysis was used to determine that cross reactivity is suggested for both mitochondrial and brain isoforms (GDH1 and GDH2), from both bovine and human sources. Additionally similar reactivity is suggested for most primate species including green monkey, white gibbon, chimpanzee orangutan, and gorilla. A high degree of sequence homology is also noted for GDH from chicken, mouse, rat, dog, and other mammals as well as Xenopus tropicalis, zebrafish, rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. Cross reactivity against Glutamate Dehydrogenase from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined.
Background: Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter. One enzyme central to the metabolism of glutamate is glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH1; EC 1.4.1.3), that catalyzes the reversible deamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate using NAD+ or NADP+. Mammalian GDH is composed of six identical subunits, and the regulation of GDH is very complex. It has been a major goal to identify the substrate and regulatory binding sites of GDH. It is only in recent years that the three-dimensional structure of GDH from microorganisms is available. Very recently, crystallization of bovine liver GDH was reported for the first time from the mammalian sources. However, remarkably little is known about the detailed structure of mammalian GDH, especially the brain enzymes.
