RABBIT ANTI PARAOXONASE 2

Rabbit anti Human paraoxonase 2 antibody recognizes serum paraoxonase/arylesterase 2, also known as A-esterase 2, PON 2, arylesterase 2 or serum aryldialkylphosphatase 2.

The PON2 gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase gene family, which includes three known members located adjacent to each other on the long arm of chromosome 7. The encoded protein is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, membrane-bound, and may act as a cellular antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Hydrolytic activity against acylhomoserine lactones, important bacterial quorum-sensing mediators, suggests the encoded protein may also play a role in defense responses to pathogenic bacteria. Mutations in PON2 may be associated with vascular disease and a number of quantitative phenotypes related to diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human paraoxonase 2 antibody detects a band of 39, 41 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
