Rabbit Anti-PAOX (Polyamine Oxidase, PAO,Peroxisomal N(1)-Acetyl-Spermine/Spermidine Oxidase, Exo-N4-Amino)
Polyamine Oxidaseis an enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. Widely expressed. Not detected in spleen. Expressed at lower level in neoplastic tissues. Flavoenzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of N(1)-acetylspermine to spermidine and is thus involved in the polyamine back-conversion. Can also oxidize N(1)-acetylspermidine to putrescine. Substrate specificity: N(1)-acetylspermine = N(1)-acetylspermidine > N1,N(12)-diacylspermine >> spermine. Does not oxidize spermidine. Plays an important role in the regulation of polyamine intracellular concentration and has the potential to act as a determinant of cellular sensitivity to the antitumor polyamine analogs.
