| Specificity | This antibody detects Aminoadipate Aminotransferase (AADAT) at N-terminal region. |
| Application | Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections (2.5 ?g/ml). Antigen retrieval: Steam slides in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0, at 99-100°C for 20 min. Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature in buffer for 20 min. Rinse in 1x TBS with Tween (TBST) for 1 min. at room temperature. |
| Background | Kynurenine aminotransferase catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid. Kynurenic acid is an antagonist at the glycine site of NMDA receptors and increased levels of kynurenic acid are thought to exert a neuroprotective action in some pathological conditions. |
| Concentration | 0.9 mg/ml |
