Target/Specificity | This AOC3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 613-640 amino acids from the Central region of human AOC3. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 IHC-P~~1:25 FC~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | AOC3 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | AOC3 (HGNC:550) |

Synonyms | VAP1 |
Function | Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary amines to the corresponding aldehydes with the concomitant production of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia (PubMed:19588076, PubMed:24304424, PubMed:9653080). Has a preference for the primary monoamines methylamine and benzylamine (PubMed:19588076, PubMed:9653080). Could also act on 2-phenylethylamine but much less efficiently (PubMed:19588076). At endothelial cells surface can also function as a cell adhesion protein that participates in lymphocyte extravasation and recirculation by mediating the binding of lymphocytes to peripheral lymph node vascular endothelial cells in an L-selectin-independent fashion (PubMed:9254657, PubMed:9653080). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed on the high endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes and on hepatic endothelia. Also highly expressed in appendix, lung and small intestine. Expressed also in adipose tissue, in bone marrow, colon, heart, kidney, ovary, pancreas, placenta, prostate, skeletal muscle, spleen and testis. Isoform 2 seems to be the predominant transcript in fetal kidneys, fetal cartilage and fetal tonsils. The highest relative expression of isoform 2 occurs in skeletal muscle, heart, pancreas, kidney, and lung |

Background
Copper amine oxidases catalyze the oxidative conversion of amines to aldehydes in the presence of copper and quinone cofactor. The product is a major protein on the adipocyte plasma membrane. It has adhesive properties and also has functional monoamine oxidase activity.
