Description

General description

Cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COX2) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 1. The encoded protein is one of the isoforms of COX protein. It is expressed in specific cells such as activated macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes, in response to inflammatory stimuli such as mitogen, cytokines and growth factors.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal sequence of human COX2 (GeneID: 5743), conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence has high homology to rat COX2 (83% identity) and to mouse COX2 (82% identity).

Application

Anti-COX2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemical staining.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclooxygenase (COX) catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to prostaglandins (PG). Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of gastric cancer. Elevated expression of the gene has been observed in various chronic and autoimmune diseases.

Physical form

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