Glutamate-ammonia ligase is a cytosolic enzyme encoded by the GLUL gene and commonly referred to as Glutamine synthetase. Glutamine Synthetase Antibody for WB CCH-7 is developed for immunoblot and immunohistology detection of this key metabolic enzyme in protein lysates. GLUL catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of glutamate and ammonia into glutamine and plays a central role in nitrogen metabolism, ammonia detoxification, and cellular metabolic regulation.
In western blot analysis, glutamine synthetase is typically detected as a band near its predicted molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa. Brain, liver, and skeletal muscle lysates commonly demonstrate robust signal due to the high metabolic activity of astrocytes and pericentral hepatocytes, where GLUL expression is enriched. Comparative immunoblotting across tissues often reveals stronger bands in liver and central nervous system samples, while many other tissues show lower expression levels consistent with their reduced dependence on glutamine synthesis.
Because GLUL is a soluble cytoplasmic enzyme, it is generally efficiently extracted under standard RIPA or NP-40 lysis conditions. In some preparations, minor band heterogeneity may be observed due to post-translational modifications or protein turnover fragments; however, the predominant immunoreactive species corresponds to the expected size of the full-length protein. Western blot detection is frequently used to assess relative expression changes under metabolic stress, hypoxia, oncogenic pathway activation, or differentiation conditions in cultured cells and tissue samples.
Altered GLUL expression has been reported in hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies, where immunoblot-based quantification can support studies investigating metabolic reprogramming and glutamine dependence. As a rabbit monoclonal reagent, Glutamine Synthetase Antibody for WB CCH-7 provides consistent target recognition suitable for comparative protein expression analysis. This antibody supports research applications focused on validating GLUL expression levels, confirming molecular weight, and evaluating changes in glutamine metabolism pathways in normal and disease contexts.
Optimal dilution of the Glutamine Synthetase antibody for WB should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide specific to human Glutamine Synthetase / GLUL was used as the immunogen for the Glutamine Synthetase antibody.
Store the Glutamine Synthetase antibody at -20oC.
