Squalene epoxidase (SQLE) is an NADPH-dependent flavoprotein monooxygenase that oxidizes squalene to 2,3,-oxidosqualene (squalene epoxide) which is the first oxygenation and rate-limiting step in sterol, ergosterol and cholesterol, biosynthesis.
Specificity
Anti-SQLE polyclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, rat, pig, zebrafish, bovine, and canine squalene epoxidases.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human SQLE
Application
Anti-SQLE polyclonal antibody is used to tag squalene epoxidase for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of squalene epoxidase in sterol, ergosterol and cholesterol, biosynthesis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Squalene epoxidase catalyzes the first oxygenation step in sterol biosynthesis and is thought to be one of the rate-limiting enzymes in this pathway.
Sequence
Synthetic peptide located within the following region: KKSFYWARKTSHSFVVNILAQALYELFSATDDSLHQLRKACFLYFKLGGE
Physical form
Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
