Target: Dityrosine
Conjugate: HRP
Product Type: Monoclonal
Clone Number: 7D4
Immunogen: Synthetic Dityrosine conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
Purification: Protein G Purified
Storage Buffer: PBS pH 7.4, 50% glycerol, 0.09% Sodium azide *Storage buffer may change when conjugated
Concentration: 1 mg/ml
Specificity: Specific for dityrosine modified proteins. Does not cross-react with 3,5-dibromotyrosine or bromotyrosine modified proteins.
Scientific Background: ROS such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals can react with both the backbone and the side chains of proteins, leading to backbone cleavage and side-chain modifications, respectively. Peroxidases, UV radiation, and hydroxyl radicals catalyze the formation of tyrosyl radicals which then react to form cross-links between proteins (1). This produces dityrosine, a metabolically stable biomarker of protein oxidation (2).
