    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #13561. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #13561

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    DDC (D6N8N) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total DDC protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val33 of human DDC protein.

    Background

    L-DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) is a pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-DOPA to dopamine (1) and L-5HTP to serotonin (2). By catalyzing dopamine synthesis, DDC is involved in key metabolic processes and plays a central role in the complex neuroendocrine-immune regulatory network (1). DDC is expressed in the central nervous system (3), but is also detected in peripheral organs, such as the liver and adrenal gland, as well as rat and human leukocytes (1). DDC is thought to be the sole enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the trace amines 2-phenylethylamine, p-tyramine, and tryptamine, which are considered to act as neuromodulators (2,4). DDC is also regarded as a general biomarker for neuroendocrine tumors (3).

    Alternate Names

    AADC; Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase; DDC; DOPA decarboxylase; dopa decarboxylase (aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase)
