Target Background

Function
This antibody catalyzes the ligation of Coenzyme A (CoA) to isovalerate, producing 3-methylbutanoyl-CoA. It can also utilize butanoate, pentanoate, hexanoate, 3-methylpentanoate, and 4-methylpentanoate as substrates, albeit with reduced efficiency.

Q&A

FAQs for AAE2 Antibody Research
Target audience: Academic researchers in immunology, molecular biology, and protein engineering

ADVANCED RESEARCH QUESTIONS

How can conflicting data on AAE2’s role in inflammatory pathways be resolved?

  • Step 1: Compare experimental conditions across studies:

    • Stimuli (e.g., TNF-α vs. IFN-γ concentrations )

    • Tissue sources (epidermal vs. dermal samples )

  • Step 2: Employ single-cell RNA sequencing to identify AAE2 expression heterogeneity in immune cell subsets .

What strategies improve AAE2 antibody stability in high-throughput screening assays?

  • Add 0.1% BSA + 0.05% Tween-20 to storage buffer to prevent aggregation .

  • Use aluminum hydroxide adjuvants during hybridoma development to enhance thermal resilience (50°C for 24h stability testing) .

How do epigenetic modifications affect AAE2 detection in chronic skin inflammation models?

  • Methodological approach:

    • Perform ChIP-seq with anti-AAE2 and histone modification markers (H3K27ac, H3K4me1) .

    • Correlate DNA methylation status (via bisulfite sequencing) with antibody binding affinity .

    • Validate using organoid models exposed to IL-17/IL-23 cytokines .

DATA CONTRADICTION ANALYSIS

Why might AAE2 show differential binding in psoriasis vs. atopic dermatitis?

FactorPsoriasisAtopic Dermatitis
Post-translational modificationsHyperphosphorylation at Ser203 O-GlcNAcylation at Thr112
Competing ligandsElevated IL-23 masks epitope TSLP enhances accessibility

Resolution workflow:

  • Use hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to map conformational changes .

  • Test antibody performance in ex vivo skin explants under disease-specific cytokine milieus .

METHODOLOGICAL RESOURCES

  • Tape-stripping protocols for epidermal AAE2 sampling

  • Computational docking tools for epitope conservation analysis (e.g., PyMOL, Rosetta )
