Western Blotting (WB)
Purification
This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This DAO antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 259-287 amino acids from the Central region of human DAO.
This gene encodes the peroxisomal enzyme D-amino acid oxidase. The enzyme is a flavoprotein which uses flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as its prosthetic group. Its substrates include a wide variety of D-amino acids, but it is inactive on the naturally occurring L-amino acids. Its biological function is not known, it may act as a detoxifying agent which removes D-amino acids that accumulate during aging. In mice, it degrades D-serine, a co-agonist of the NMDA receptor. This gene may play a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
