Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of mouse liver tissue, rat spleen tissue, and MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8050) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF008). A specific band was detected for Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO at approximately 55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO antibody in Human Placenta by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO in Human Placenta.

Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human placenta using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8050) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rabbit IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC003). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in syncytiotrophoblast cells.

Background: Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase/KMO

Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase (KMO), also known as Kynurenine 3-Hydroxylase, is a part of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation (1). KMO catalyzes the NADPH- and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent 3-hydroxylation of kynurenine to 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK). 3-HK is neurotoxic via the generation of hydrogen peroxide (2) and through the excitotoxic effects of its downstream metabolite quinolinic acid (3). The levels of 3-HK and quinolinic acid are increased in the brain with Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease (1). Inhibition of KMO was shown to reverse cognitive and motor deficits in mouse models of those diseases via an increase in neuroprotective kynurenic acid (4). KMO is found in the mitochondrial outer membrane of microglial cells in the brain and dendritic cells and macrophages in the periphery (1).
