GAPDH-2 Antibody (Hs-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in human and porcine samples through applications such as western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). GAPDH is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, catalyzing the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which is essential for energy production in carbohydrate metabolism. Beyond a well-established role in glycolysis, GAPDH is also involved in various cellular processes, including acting as a uracil DNA glycosylase, which is vital for DNA repair mechanisms, and participating in transcriptional regulation and RNA binding. Notably, GAPDH′s ability to translocate to the nucleus during apoptosis highlights GAPDH′s importance in programmed cell death, a critical process in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Furthermore, GAPDH interacts with several neuronal proteins associated with neurodegenerative disorders, such as the β-Amyloid precursor and Huntingtin, underscoring GAPDH′s potential role in the pathology of these diseases. GAPDH expression is often upregulated in various cancers, including liver, lung, and prostate cancers, making GAPDH a significant marker for cancer research. With multifaceted functions and implications in both metabolism and disease, anti-GAPDH antibody (Hs-8) serves as a valuable tool for researchers investigating the complexities of cellular processes and disease mechanisms.
