Arginine Antibody (5D1): sc-57625

Arginine Antibody (5D1) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Arginine in non-species reactive samples through western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF) applications. Anti-Arginine antibody (5D1) is available in a non-conjugated form, specifically designed for researchers seeking to study the dynamics of Arginine in various biological contexts. Arginine is an essential α-amino acid that plays a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes, including protein synthesis, cell division, and immune response. Notably, Arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide, a critical signaling molecule involved in vasodilation and neurotransmission, highlighting its importance in cardiovascular health and neurological function. Arginine is primarily located in the cytoplasm and is involved in the urea cycle, where Arginine helps in the detoxification of ammonia, a byproduct of protein metabolism. This localization is crucial as Arginine participates in metabolic pathways that maintain nitrogen balance in the body. Furthermore, Arginine′s unique structure, characterized by a long hydrophobic side chain and a positively charged guanidinium group, enables Arginine to interact effectively with various proteins and cellular components, facilitating diverse biological functions.
