Notes

ab246338 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Xanthine Oxidase antibody [EPR4605] ab109235.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

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.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

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.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Xanthine oxidase also known as XO is an enzyme often referred to as xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase. It has an important role in purine metabolism converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and then xanthine to uric acid. This enzyme is an aldehyde oxidase and belongs to the family of molybdenum-containing enzymes. Xanthine oxidase has a molecular weight of approximately 290 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues predominantly in the liver and small intestine with lower levels in kidney and lung tissues.

Biological function summary

Xanthine oxidase has a significant role in the production of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide during the process of purine catabolism. In its dehydrogenase form XO can interconvert into an oxidase form engaging more readily in the electron transfer that leads to reactive oxygen species generation. Xanthine oxidase is not a part of any larger complex but functions as a dimer with two identical subunits that facilitate its metabolic roles.

Pathways

The enzyme is pivotal in the purine degradation pathway which is essential for the breakdown and eventual excretion of purine compounds as uric acid. This pathway connects it to enzymes like hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) which performs salvage reactions to recycle purines. Additionally xanthine oxidase's role in reactive oxygen species production links it to oxidative stress pathways impacting proteins such as superoxide dismutase which works to detoxify reactive intermediates.

Associated diseases and disorders

Xanthine oxidase is closely implicated in conditions like gout and hyperuricemia due to its role in uric acid production. Elevated activity of XO can lead to excessive uric acid accumulation contributing to these disorders. Furthermore XO is associated with cardiovascular diseases as the generated reactive oxygen species can foster endothelial dysfunction. The enzyme’s activity is intertwined with systems involving proteins like endothelial nitric oxide synthase where oxidative stress affects nitric oxide availability and vascular health.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human liver tissue sections labeling Xanthine Oxidase with purified Anti-Xanthine Oxidase antibody [EPR4605] ab109235 at 1/100 dilution (2.3 µg/mL). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Antigen Retrieval Buffer (100X Tris-EDTA Buffer, pH 9.0) ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0). ImmunoHistoProbe one step HRP Polymer (ready to use) was used as the secondary antibody. Negative control: PBS instead of the primary antibody. Hematoxylin was used as a counterstain.
