Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit alpha (PDHA1) serves as a critical gatekeeper in cellular energy metabolism, catalyzing the irreversible conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and linking glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid cycle. This mitochondrial enzyme has emerged as a focal point in cancer metabolism research, where its regulation influences the Warburg effect, and in studies of metabolic disorders including pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency. Understanding PDHA1 expression and localization provides valuable insights into cellular metabolic reprogramming across diverse physiological and pathological contexts.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone 5D9, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding metabolic studies require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human PDHA1 and produced through recombinant technology, this antibody delivers sequence-defined specificity with minimal lot-to-lot variation, ensuring your longitudinal studies maintain comparable results over time.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates robust performance for diverse experimental workflows. Western blot analysis detects PDHA1 at approximately 45 kDa across an extensive panel of human cell lines including HepG2, COLO-205, A549, HeLa, HEK293T, and PC-3, as well as rat brain tissue, confirming cross-species reactivity. The slightly higher observed molecular weight compared to the 43 kDa predicted size likely reflects post-translational modifications characteristic of this mitochondrial protein. Immunohistochemistry validation in human stomach tissue demonstrates clear staining suitable for tissue-based expression studies, while flow cytometry analysis in HeLa cells confirms utility for single-cell metabolic profiling applications.
Whether investigating metabolic reprogramming in cancer, mitochondrial dysfunction, or cellular bioenergetics, this antibody provides a reliable tool for characterizing PDHA1 across Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry platforms.
