HXK I polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. HK1 encodes a ubiquitous form of hexokinase which localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Mutations in HK1 have been associated with hemolytic anemia due to hexokinase deficiency. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants which encode different isoforms, some of which are tissue-specific.

Research Area: Cardiovascular

Synonyms: HK1, Hexokinase-1, Brain form hexokinase, Hexokinase type I, HK I

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AMPK alpha around the phosphorylation site of Thr172. AA range:140-189

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Formulation: Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.

Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage:
-20°C for 1 year
