This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-53117. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
CYP4F isoforms are involved in the oxidation of important cellular mediators, such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and prostaglandins. CYP4F2 catalyzes omega-hydroxylation of LTB4 to a less potent proinflammatory eicosanoid, 20-OH-LTB4 as well as arachidonic acid. CYP4F2 is expressed in liver and kidney. Its expression is repressed by peroxisomal proliferators and induced by retinoic acid. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder biochemically characterized by elevated levels of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA). CYP4F2 participates in the omega-hydroxylation of VLCFAs, which may provide an alternative mode of treatment for X-ALD patients.
