Description

General description

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 is a homodimer that is predominantly cytosolic. Each monomer contains one molecule of FAD. The gene is localized to human chromosome 16q22.1 and is a single copy gene. It consists of six exons interspaced by five introns and spans a length of 20kb. The 5′UT, first two amino acids, and the first nucleotide of the third amino acid are encoded by exon 1. The rest of the exons encode the remaining 272 amino acids and the 3′UT.

Immunogen

NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-NQO1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NQO1 (NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1) gene encodes an obligate two-electron reductase that utilizes either NADH or NADPH as a reducing cofactor. It catalyzes reduction of substrates such as quinones, quinone-imines, glutathionyl-substituted naphthoquinones, dichlorophenolindolphenol, methylene blue, azo and nitro compounds, dinitropyrenes, nitrophenylaziridines and nitrobenzamides. It also catalyzes four-electron reduction of azo dyes and nitro compounds. It functions in the detoxification of redox-cycling quinones such as menadione. It also plays the role of an antioxidant by regenerating antioxidant forms of ubiquinone and Vitamin E. By catalyzing these reactions, it protects cells from oxidant stress and electrophilic attack. Defects in this gene have been associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD) and an increased risk of hematotological malignancy after exposure to benzene. Polymorphism in this gene also increases the susceptibility to various cancers

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
