Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Fluorescence Microscopy (FM)
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Cross reactivity with KMO from other sources has not been determined.
Purity
Anti-KMO was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody is specific towards Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO). A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Mouse based on 100 % sequence homology.
Endotoxin Level
Low Endotoxin : No
Immunogen
KMO affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of the mouse KMO chain. Immunogen Type: Peptide
KMO
Reactivity: Human
ELISA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
HRP
Application Notes
Anti-KMO antibody is useful for ELISA and Western Blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately ~58 kDa corresponding to the appropriate cell lysate or extract.

Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) catalyzes the hydroxylation of L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) to form 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine (L-3OHKyn). The enzyme is required for synthesis of quinolinic acid. Quinolinic acid is a neurotoxic NMDA receptor antagonist and potential endogenous inhibitor of NMDA receptor signaling in axonal targeting, synaptogenesis and apoptosis during brain development. Anti-KMO antibodies are ideal for researchers interested in Apoptosis, Neurodegeneration, and Neuroscience research. Synonyms: kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (kynurenine 3-hydroxylase)
