Rabbit Anti-CDO1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
CDO1 (cysteine dioxygenase, type I) is a 200 amino acid protein that belongs to the cysteine dioxygenase family and is involved in organosulfur biosynthesis. Existing as a monomer and expressed at high levels in liver and placenta and at lower levels in brain, pancreas and heart, CDO1 functions as a dioxygenase that uses iron and zinc as cofactors to catalyze the conversion of L-cysteine and oxygen to 3-sulfinoalanine. Via its catalytic activity, CDO1 is involved in pyruvate-, sulfate- and taurine-related metabolic pathways and is a crucial regulator of cysteine concentrations within the cell. Human CDO1 shares 94% amino acid identity with its rat counterpart, suggesting a conserved role between species. The gene encoding CDO1 maps to human chromosome 5, which contains 181 million base pairs and comprises nearly 6% of the human genome. Deletion of the p arm of chromosome 5 leads to Cri du chat syndrome, while deletion of the q arm or of chromosome 5 altogether is common in therapy-related acute myelogenous leukemias and myelodysplastic syndrome.
PathwayOrganosulfur biosynthesis; taurine biosynthesis; hypotaurine from L-cysteine: step 1/2.
Function:
Initiates several important metabolic pathways related to pyruvate and several sulfurate compounds including sulfate, hypotaurine and taurine. Critical regulator of cellular cysteine concentrations. Has an important role in maintaining the hepatic concentation of intracellular free cysteine within a proper narrow range.
Subunit:
Monomer.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in liver and placenta. Low expression in heart, brain and pancreas. Also detected in hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells.
Post-translational modifications:
The thioether cross-link between Cys-93 and Tyr-157 plays a structural role through stabilizing the Fe(2+) ion, and prevents the production of highly damaging free hydroxyl radicals by holding the oxygen radical via hydroxyl hydrogen.
Similarity:
Belongs to the cysteine dioxygenase family.
