OTC Antibody / OTCase Antibody recognizes ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate into citrulline during the urea cycle. This reaction is a fundamental step in ammonia detoxification, allowing excess nitrogen generated during amino acid metabolism to be converted into urea for excretion. Because OTC is highly expressed in hepatocytes and also present in intestinal tissue, it serves as an important marker for studies of liver metabolism, mitochondrial biology, and nitrogen homeostasis. NSJ Bioreagents provides OTC Antibody / OTCase Antibody for researchers investigating metabolic pathways and mitochondrial enzymes.
OTC is localized within the mitochondrial matrix, where it functions alongside the other urea cycle enzymes to maintain normal ammonia levels. Proper OTC activity is essential for preventing the accumulation of toxic nitrogen metabolites and supporting normal hepatic physiology. An OTC Antibody is therefore valuable for examining mitochondrial protein expression, metabolic regulation, and the functional integrity of the urea cycle in normal and experimental tissues.
Mutations affecting the OTC gene are responsible for ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, the most common inherited disorder of the urea cycle. As a result, OTC has become an important research target in studies of inherited metabolic disease, liver biology, hyperammonemia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and gene therapy. It is also widely used in investigations of hepatic differentiation, metabolic adaptation, and mitochondrial enzyme regulation.
An OTC Antibody is a useful reagent for investigating ornithine transcarbamylase expression, urea cycle function, ammonia detoxification, mitochondrial metabolism, liver physiology, and metabolic disease.
Learn more about ornithine transcarbamylase biology, urea cycle metabolism, and our Ornithine Transcarbamylase Antibody page for additional validation data and research resources.
Optimal dilution of the OTC Antibody / OTCase Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids 33-70 (NKVQLKGRDLLTLKNFTGEEIKYMLWLSADLKFRIKQK) from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the OTC antibody.
After reconstitution, the OTC antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
