What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

PDK4 also known as Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase Isozyme 4 plays an essential role in regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism. PDK4 phosphorylates the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex controlling the transformation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA a critical step in energy production. The protein has a molecular weight of around 49 kDa. PDK4 expression occurs in various tissues with high levels observed in skeletal muscle heart and liver reflecting its role in energy metabolic processes.
Biological function summary

The enzyme functions to inhibit the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by adding phosphate groups which reduces the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and shifts energy production from carbohydrates to fats especially during fasting or prolonged exercise. PDK4 operates as a homodimer and is often part of a larger regulatory system balancing glucose and fatty acid oxidation in response to nutrient availability.

Pathways

PDK4 is integral to the regulation of both glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. The enzyme interacts closely with the insulin signaling pathway where it modulates glucose uptake and utilization based on hormonal signals. Additionally PDK4 is a part of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway where it plays a role in cellular response to low oxygen levels interacting with related proteins such as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH).

PDK4's activity is linked to metabolic conditions like diabetes and obesity where its altered expression can lead to insulin resistance by affecting glucose utilization. Furthermore PDK4 is associated with cardiovascular diseases through its influence on cardiac energy metabolism and its interaction with other proteins such as PDH contributing to heart dysfunction when deregulated.

Target data

Kinase that plays a key role in regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis via phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase subunits PDHA1 and PDHA2. This inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, and thereby regulates metabolite flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle, down-regulates aerobic respiration and inhibits the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A from pyruvate. Inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase decreases glucose utilization and increases fat metabolism in response to prolonged fasting and starvation. Plays an important role in maintaining normal blood glucose levels under starvation, and is involved in the insulin signaling cascade. Via its regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, plays an important role in maintaining normal blood pH and in preventing the accumulation of ketone bodies under starvation. In the fed state, mediates cellular responses to glucose levels and to a high-fat diet. Regulates both fatty acid oxidation and de novo fatty acid biosynthesis. Plays a role in the generation of reactive oxygen species. Protects detached epithelial cells against anoikis. Plays a role in cell proliferation via its role in regulating carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism.
