Small volumes of anti-HGD antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

The HGD gene encodes homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine. This enzyme is involved in the catabolism of the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine. Mutations in this gene are the cause of the autosomal recessive metabolism disorder alkaptonuria. This gene is mapped to chromosome 3q21-q23 by a preliminary PCR screen of hamster/human somatic cell hybrid genomic DNA samples and by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of HGD using anti-HGD antibody (MBS1750727).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human HepG2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human A549 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: rat liver tissue lysates,
Lane 4: rat kidney tissue lysates,
Lane 5: mouse liver tissue lysates,
Lane 6: mouse kidney tissue lysates.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-HGD antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5ug/mL overnight at 4 degree C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for HGD at approximately 50KD. The expected band size for HGD is at 50KD.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of HGD using anti-HGD antibody (MBS1750727).
HGD was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human liver cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2ug/ml rabbit anti-HGD Antibody (MBS1750727) overnight at 4 degree C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 degree C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.

HGD was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human prostatic cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2ug/ml rabbit anti-HGD Antibody (MBS1750727) overnight at 4 degree C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 degree C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.
