GLO1, also known as Glyoxalase I, is a key enzyme of the glyoxalase system, responsible for detoxifying methylglyoxal, a highly reactive byproduct of glycolysis. By catalyzing the conversion of methylglyoxal and glutathione into S-D-lactoylglutathione, GLO1 helps maintain cellular homeostasis and prevents the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are implicated in oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction. This enzymatic activity is essential for protecting proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids from glycation-induced damage.
GLO1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues, with particularly high levels in metabolically active cells such as neurons and hepatocytes. Research has linked altered GLO1 activity to numerous diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. In diabetic complications, reduced detoxification of methylglyoxal can contribute to vascular damage, while in cancer, GLO1 overexpression has been associated with enhanced tumor cell survival and resistance to oxidative stress. Additionally, variations in GLO1 expression and activity have been studied in psychiatric conditions, including anxiety-related behaviors.
A GLO1 antibody is an essential research tool for detecting and analyzing protein expression in both physiological and pathological settings. Applications of a GLO1 antibody include western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, making it suitable for investigations into metabolic regulation, stress responses, and disease progression. NSJ Bioreagents provides a GLO1 antibody designed for high specificity and performance, enabling researchers to explore the diverse biological roles of this enzyme.
Optimal dilution of the GLO1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant human protein corresponding to amino acids A2-M184 was used as the immunogen for the GLO1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the GLO1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
