Glutamate is a majorexcitatory neurotransmitter. One enzyme central to themetabolism of glutamate is glutamate dehydrogenase(GDH1; EC 1.4.1.3), that catalyzes the reversibledeamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate usingNAD+ or NADP+. Mammalian GDH is composed of sixidentical subunits, and the regulation of GDH is verycomplex. It has been a major goal to identify thesubstrate and regulatory binding sites of GDH. It is onlyin recent years that the three-dimensional structure ofGDH from microorganisms is available. Very recently,crystallization of bovine liver GDH was reported for thefirst time from the mammalian sources. However,remarkably little is known about the detailed structureof mammalian GDH, especially the brain enzymes.

Guarantee
abm guarantees that all our Anti-Glutamate Dehydrogenase Antibody will perform as described on this product webpage, if this is not the case we will provide you with a one-time replacement at no extra cost. Documentation and explanation of experiment conducted will be required when submitting a claim for replacement.
Immunogen
This antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a full lengthGlutamate Dehydrogenase protein isolated from Bovine Liver.
Isotype
IgG
Quantity
100 μl
Recommended Dilution
This antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivityshould be optimized by the end user. Bovine glutamate dehydrogenase exists as a homohexamer located within themitochondrial matrix. Expect a band approximately 62 kDa in size corresponding to glutamate dehydrogenase monomersubunit by western blotting in the appropriate cell or tissue extract.

Specificity
This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination. Assay byimmunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against purified and partially purified Glutamate Dehydrogenase [BovineLiver]. BLAST analysis was used to determine that cross reactivity is suggested for both mitochondrial and brain isoforms (GDH1 andGDH2), from both bovine and human sources. Additionally similar reactivity is suggested for most primate species including greenmonkey, white gibbon, chimpanzee orangutan, and gorilla. A high degree of sequence homology is also noted for GDH from chicken,mouse, rat, dog, and other mammals as well as Xenopus tropicalis, zebrafish, rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. Cross reactivityagainst Glutamate Dehydrogenase from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined.
