Extra Details:: NOX4(NADPH oxidase 4), also called RENAL NADPH OXIDASE or RENOX, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NOX4 gene, and a member of the NOX family of NADPH oxidases. Geiszt et al. (2000) stated that the nucleotide sequence of RENOX matches that found in a genomic clone on chromosome 15. In a note added in proof, they stated that genomic clones assigned to chromosome 11 also contain sequence corresponding to RENOX. By FISH, Shiose et al. (2001) mapped the NOX4 gene to chromosome 11q14.2-q21. Geiszt et al. (2000) found that NIH 3T3 fibroblasts overexpressing transfected RENOX showed increased production of superoxide and developed signs of cellular senescence. They suggested that RENOX, as a renal source of ROS, may fulfill the function of the putative oxygen sensor in the kidney. By biochemical analysis of endogenous renal NOX4, Shiose et al. (2001) determined that the enzyme can use either NADH or NADPH as an electron donor for superoxide production. UniProt Number: Q9JHI8 Gene ID: NOX4 Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: paraffin Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
