Arginase-1 serves as a critical enzyme in the urea cycle, catalyzing the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea in hepatocytes. Beyond its metabolic function, ARG1 has emerged as a significant marker in immunology research, where its expression in myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages contributes to immunosuppressive microenvironments by depleting arginine availability for T cell proliferation. This dual role in metabolism and immune regulation makes ARG1 a valuable target for researchers investigating liver biology, cancer immunology, and metabolic disorders.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 31D12, offers the reproducibility that demanding research protocols require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human ARG1 and produced using recombinant technology, this antibody provides sequence-defined consistency between lots, eliminating the variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit IgG format ensures robust signal amplification with standard secondary detection systems.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates reliable performance in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human liver cancer tissue, with recommended working dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200 providing flexibility to optimize signal-to-background ratios for your specific tissue processing conditions. The citrate buffer antigen retrieval protocol and overnight primary incubation at 4°C yielded clear visualization using standard HRP-polymer detection, confirming compatibility with automated staining platforms including the Leica Bond system. Additional ELISA compatibility extends the utility of this antibody across different experimental workflows.
Whether investigating hepatocellular carcinoma biology, characterizing tumor immune infiltrates, or studying metabolic pathway regulation, this ARG1 antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your research in metabolism and signal transduction.
