Gene Information

human ... SMOX(54498)

General description

Spermine oxidase (SMOX) gene mapped to human chromosome 20p13, is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent oxidase. It encodes nucleus and cytoplasmic specific splice variants.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 151-165 of human SMOX

Application

Anti-SMOX (151-165) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Spermine oxidase (SMOX) catabolizes spermine to spermidine, 3-aminopropanal and hydrogen peroxide. This catalytic activity of SMOX leads to apoptosis and DNA damage in gastric epithelial cells. It is highly expressed in H. pylori  infected gastritis tissues and in ulcerative colitis (UC). Induced SMOX expression in breast cancer using spermine analogs is regarded as an effective anticancer treatment regime. It is regarded as a key marker correlating chronic inflammation with epithelial carcinogenesis. Elevation in the SMO levels is observed in inflammatory bowel disease and is implicated in the immunopathogenesis of Citrobacter rodentium infection mediated colitis.

Physical form

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

Most Mendelian disorders, including neuromuscular disorders, display extensive clinical heterogeneity that cannot be solely explained by primary genetic mutations. This phenotypic variability is largely attributed to the presence of disease modifiers, which can exacerbate or lessen the severity and progression

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric myogenic soft tissue sarcoma that includes fusion-positive (FP) and fusion-negative (FN) molecular subtypes. FP-RMS expresses PAX3-FOXO1 fusion protein and often shows dismal prognosis. FN-RMS shows cytogenetic abnormalities and frequently harbors RAS pathway mutations. Despite the
