General description

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 1 (NOX1) belongs to the family of NADPH oxidases. It is abundantly expressed in colon, primarily in differentiated epithelial cells. NOX1 has two cytosolic regulators, NOXA1 and NOXO1 as well as Ras-related protein Rac1.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal of human NOX1 isoform long (NOX1L). The corresponding sequence is identical in human NOX1 isoform long variant (NOX1LV) and highly conserved in mouse and rat NOX1 (76% sequence identity).

Application

Anti-NOX1 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 1 (NOX1) catalyzes the generation of superoxide ion. It is mitogenic and a potent trigger of the angiogenic switch, increasing the vascularity of tumors and inducing molecular markers of angiogenesis.. NOX1 promotes neurotoxic activation of microglia suggesting, that they play a central role during neuroinflammatory states and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide
