Description

General description

P450 (cytochrome) oxidoreductase (POR, CγPOR, P450R) is an FAD and FMN microsome membrane-bound enzyme required for electron transfer to several cytochrome P450 enzymes, heme oxygenase(s), cytochrome b(5) and squalene monooxygenases. CγPOR is an essential electron donor to enzymes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. Mutation of CγPOR have been linked to Antley-Bixler-like Syndrome (ABS).

Specificity

Anti-POR (AB2) polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, human, mouse, rat, pig, canine, zebrafish, chicken, and rabbit P450 (cytochrome) oxidoreductases.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human POR

Application

Anti-POR (AB2) polyclonal antibody is used to tag P450 (cytochrome) oxidoreductase for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of P450 (cytochrome) oxidoreductase in metabolic processes that depend upon electron transfer to P450 enzymes, heme oxygenases, cytochrom b5 and squalene monooxygenases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

POR is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane oxidoreductase with an FAD-binding domain and a flavodoxin-like domain. The protein binds two cofactors, FAD and FMN, which allow it to donate electrons directly from NADPH to all microsomal P450 enzymes. Mutations in this POR gene have been associated with various diseases, including apparent combined P450C17 and P450C21 deficiency, amenorrhea and disordered steroidogenesis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and Antley-Bixler syndrome.This gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum membrane oxidoreductase with an FAD-binding domain and a flavodoxin-like domain.
