Anti-AKR1B10

Application

Anti-AKR1B10 polyclonal antibody is used to tag advanced AKR1B10 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a potential tumor marker for pancreatic and lung cancer.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AKR1B10 is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member can efficiently reduce aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, and it is less active on hexoses. It is highly expressed in adrenal gland, small intestine, and colon, and may play an important role in liver carcinogenesis.This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins.

General description

Aldo-keto reductase family 1B10 (AKR1B10) exhibits restricted lipid substrate specificity including farnesal, geranylgeranial, retinal and carbonyls; wherein metabolizing these lipid substrates has a crucial role in promoting carcinogenesis. AKR1B10 and 1B12 display high catalytic efficiency with all-trans-retinaldehyde. Aldo-keto reductase 1B10 (AKR1B10) is a secretory protein that is upregulated with tumorigenic transformation of human mammary epithelial cells. It is a tumor marker for cancers such as pancreatic cancer, lung carcinomas.
