Product Science Overview
The primary function of the OXLD1 protein is related to its oxidoreductase activity. Oxidoreductases are enzymes that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, which are essential for various metabolic pathways. These reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one molecule (the reductant) to another (the oxidant). The OXLD1 protein is believed to participate in these processes, although its specific substrates and mechanisms are still under investigation.
Research has linked mutations or dysregulation of the OXLD1 gene to certain medical conditions. Notably, Mitral Valve Insufficiency and Mitral Valve Disease have been associated with abnormalities in this gene . These conditions affect the heart’s mitral valve, leading to improper blood flow and potential complications.
The recombinant form of OXLD1, often produced in E. coli expression systems, is used in various research applications. This recombinant protein can be utilized in blocking assays and control experiments to study its function and interactions . The recombinant OXLD1 protein typically includes a His-ABP tag for purification and detection purposes.
OXLD1 is a subject of ongoing research due to its potential implications in health and disease. Scientists are exploring its role in cellular metabolism, redox balance, and its involvement in pathological conditions. Understanding the function and regulation of OXLD1 could lead to new therapeutic targets for diseases associated with oxidative stress and redox imbalances.
