Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit alpha, somatic form, mitochondrial (UniProt: P08559; also known as EC:1.2.4.1, PDHE1-A type I) is encoded by the PDHA1 (also known as PHE1A) gene (Gene ID: 5160) in human. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO2, and thereby links the glycolytic pathway to the tricarboxylic cycle. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a tightly organized arrangement of polypeptides and cofactors that work in a sequential manner in the multi-enzyme complex catalyzing a multi-step reaction in which pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA and CO2. The intermediate substrates and products remain bound to the complex, increasing overall efficiency. This complex contains three catalytic enzymes (E1, E2, E3), two regulatory enzymes, and a binding protein and requires cofactors TPP, lipoic acid, and FAD. E1 (PDHA1) is a ubiquitously distributed mitochondrial matrix protein that is synthesized with a mitochondrial transit peptide (aa 1-29), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature active form. It is considered as a rate limiting step of PDC. Its activity is regulated by phosphatases that activate it and kinases that inhibit the enzyme activity. Phosphorylation at Ser-232, Ser-293 and Ser-300 by PDK family of kinases is known to inactivate the enzyme and phosphorylation at a single site is sufficient to cause this inactivation. However, dephosphorylation at all three sites is required for reactivation. E2 is responsible for transferring the hydroxyethyl group from TPP to an oxidized form of covalently bound lipoamide, and the resulting acetyl group is then transferred to free coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA and reduced dihydrolipoamide-E2. E3 re-oxidizes the lipoyl group of dihydrolipoamide-E2 to form lipoamide-E2 and NADH. Mutations in PDHA1 gene are known to cause E1 deficiency that results in primary lactic acidosis in children. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
