Scientific Data Images for Human BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase Antibody

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat BLMH/ Bleomycin Hydrolase antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat BLMH/ Bleomycin Hydrolase by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of MOLT-4 human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, mouse pancreas tissue, and rat pancreas tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6200) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase at approximately 52 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase antibody in Human Testis by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase in Human Testis.

BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human testis using Mouse Anti-Human BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6200) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to spermatocytes.

Western Blot Shows Human BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase Antibody Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western Blot Shows Human BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6200) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase at approximately 51 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # MAB5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase

Bleomycin Hydrolase (BLMH) is a cysteine peptidase of the papain superfamily. It is named for its ability to hydrolyze the antitumor agent bleomycin and inactivate it (1). It has a papain-like catalytic triad (Cys-His-Asp) with optimum activity at neutral pH. In mammals it is expressed ubiquitously in all types of tissues and its expression is up‑regulated in many tumors. It is present in the cytoplasm as homohexameric protein of approximately 300 kDa. In addition to its aminopeptidase activity, it has homocysteine-thiolactonase activity. BLMH inactivates bleomycin, a glycopeptide anticancer agent, by deaminating it (2). BLMH has been suggested to play a role in the generation of MHC class I-presented peptides (3, 4). Diminished BLMH activity may contribute to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (5, 6). It is inhibited by cysteine protease inhibitors such as N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetamide, para-hydroxymercuribenzoate, and E‑64.
