3-Hydroxykynureinine (3-OHKYN)
Description:
3-hydroxykynurenine, a chromophore metabolite of tryptophan, acts as UV protectant and an antioxidant in vertebrate lens. This compound reacts with proteins to induce cross-linking and chromophore adducts.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blotting: 2ug/ml. Band is seen at ~66kD
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Cellular Localization:
Cytoplasmic

Positive Control:
3-OHKYN modified BSA

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Form
Ascites, Tris-glycine, 150mM sodium chloride 0.05% sodium azide.
Specificity:
Specific for 3-hydroxykynureinine modifications on N-alpha-acetyl lysine, N-alpha-acetyl histidine, N-alpha-acetyl arginine, and N-alpha-acetyl cysteine. It does not recognize the transaminase enzyme involved in the degradation of tryptophan. Reacts with 3-OHKYN modifications in human proteins.
