Description

Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2, commonly known as COX-2, serves as a critical enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, positioning it at the center of inflammatory responses and pain signaling pathways. Unlike its constitutively expressed counterpart COX-1, COX-2 is typically induced by inflammatory stimuli, growth factors, and oncogenes, making it a focal point for researchers investigating cancer progression, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated from clone 10B2, offers the reproducibility that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in controlled recombinant systems, researchers can expect consistent performance across experiments and between lot numbers, eliminating a common source of variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.

Validation testing demonstrates reliable detection of COX-2 in human samples across multiple applications. Western blot analysis of U-87 glioblastoma whole cell lysate reveals a clean band at the predicted molecular weight of 69 kDa when used at 1:1000 dilution, confirming specificity for the target protein. For immunofluorescence applications, the antibody has been validated in HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells at 1:50 dilution, successfully visualizing COX-2 localization following standard fixation and permeabilization protocols. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA-based detection, with recommended working dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:5000 for western blot and 1:20 to 1:200 for immunofluorescence, providing flexibility to optimize signal intensity for your specific experimental conditions.

Whether investigating inflammatory signaling cascades, exploring COX-2's role in tumor microenvironments, or studying prostaglandin-mediated cardiovascular effects, this antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your research.

Target Background

Function

Dual cyclooxygenase and peroxidase in the biosynthesis pathway of prostanoids, a class of C20 oxylipins mainly derived from arachidonate, with a particular role in the inflammatory response. The cyclooxygenase activity oxygenates arachidonate (AA, C20:4(n-6)) to the hydroperoxy endoperoxide prostaglandin G2 (PGG2), and the peroxidase activity reduces PGG2 to the hydroxy endoperoxide PGH2, the precursor of all 2-series prostaglandins and thromboxanes. This complex transformation is initiated by abstraction of hydrogen at carbon 13 (with S-stereochemistry), followed by insertion of molecular O2 to form the endoperoxide bridge between carbon 9 and 11 that defines prostaglandins. The insertion of a second molecule of O2 (bis-oxygenase activity) yields a hydroperoxy group in PGG2 that is then reduced to PGH2 by two electrons. Similarly catalyzes successive cyclooxygenation and peroxidation of dihomo-gamma-linoleate (DGLA, C20:3(n-6)) and eicosapentaenoate (EPA, C20:5(n-3)) to corresponding PGH1 and PGH3, the precursors of 1- and 3-series prostaglandins. In an alternative pathway of prostanoid biosynthesis, converts 2-arachidonoyl lysophopholipids to prostanoid lysophopholipids, which are then hydrolyzed by intracellular phospholipases to release free prostanoids. Metabolizes 2-arachidonoyl glycerol yielding the glyceryl ester of PGH2, a process that can contribute to pain response. Generates lipid mediators from n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via a lipoxygenase-type mechanism. Oxygenates PUFAs to hydroperoxy compounds and then reduces them to corresponding alcohols. Plays a role in the generation of resolution phase interaction products (resolvins) during both sterile and infectious inflammation. Metabolizes docosahexaenoate (DHA, C22:6(n-3)) to 17R-HDHA, a precursor of the D-series resolvins (RvDs). As a component of the biosynthetic pathway of E-series resolvins (RvEs), converts eicosapentaenoate (EPA, C20:5(n-3)) primarily to 18S-HEPE that is further metabolized by ALOX5 and LTA4H to generate 18S-RvE1 and 18S-RvE2. In vascular endothelial cells, converts docosapentaenoate (DPA, C22:5(n-3)) to 13R-HDPA, a precursor for 13-series resolvins (RvTs) shown to activate macrophage phagocytosis during bacterial infection. In activated leukocytes, contributes to oxygenation of hydroxyeicosatetraenoates (HETE) to diHETES (5,15-diHETE and 5,11-diHETE). During neuroinflammation, plays a role in neuronal secretion of specialized preresolving mediators (SPMs) 15R-lipoxin A4 that regulates phagocytic microglia.
