Applications
The Abpromise guarantee
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab31238 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Application | Abreviews | Notes |
---|---|---|
WB | (6) |
Use a concentration of 1 - 5 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 36 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 32 kDa).Can be blocked with Human LOX peptide (ab28612).
Abcam recommends using Milk as the blocking agent. |

Target

Function
Responsible for the post-translational oxidative deamination of peptidyl lysine residues in precursors to fibrous collagen and elastin. In addition to cross-linking of extracellular matrix proteins, may have a direct role in tumor suppression. -
Tissue specificity
Heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung and pancreas. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in LOX may be a cause of cutis laxa autosomal recessive type 1 (ARCL1) [MIM:219100]. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the lysyl oxidase family. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe lysine tyrosylquinone cross-link (LTQ) is generated by condensation of the epsilon-amino group of a lysine with a topaquinone produced by oxidation of tyrosine. -

Predicted band size: 32 kDa
Observed band size: 50 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?False colour image of Western blot: Anti-LOX antibody staining at 1 ug/ml, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab31238 was shown to bind specifically to LOX. A band was observed at 50 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Lox knockout cell line ab261801 (knockout cell lysate ab256981). To generate this image, wild-type and Lox knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Developed using the ECL technique.
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 32 kDa
Additional bands at: 15 kDa, 36 kDa (possible mature (processed) protein), 47 kDa (possible immature (unprocessed)), 52 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.
Exposure time: 4 minutesThis blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab31238 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.
