Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) serves as the E3 component shared among several critical mitochondrial multienzyme complexes, including pyruvate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. This flavoprotein also functions as the L protein in the glycine cleavage system, positioning it at the intersection of carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid catabolism, and cellular energy production. Mutations in DLD are associated with metabolic disorders, making it a significant target for researchers investigating mitochondrial function, metabolic disease mechanisms, and signal transduction pathways.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 8G4) offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research protocols require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human DLD protein, the recombinant production method ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit IgG format, purified by affinity chromatography, delivers reliable performance across experimental workflows.
Validation studies demonstrate effective immunohistochemical detection in human tissues, with testing performed on paraffin-embedded human kidney and gastric cancer specimens using a Leica Bond system with citrate buffer antigen retrieval. At a 1:100 dilution, the antibody produced clear staining patterns in both normal and pathological tissue contexts, with recommended working dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 depending on your specific application requirements. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, providing flexibility for researchers employing multiple detection strategies.
For investigators exploring mitochondrial metabolism, cancer biology, or metabolic disorders, this DLD antibody provides a dependable tool for characterizing protein expression and localization in human tissue samples.
