Description

Functional Roles of CMBL

CMBL mediates the bioactivation of prodrugs through ester bond hydrolysis:

ProdrugActive MetaboliteTherapeutic Class
Olmesartan medoxomilOlmesartanAngiotensin receptor blocker
Faropenem medoxomilFaropenemβ-lactam antibiotic
LenampicillinAmpicillinPenicillin antibiotic

Key functional attributes:

  • Tissue distribution: Highest expression in liver cytosol, followed by kidney, small intestine, and colon

  • Catalytic efficiency: Km=12.4±1.1μMK_m = 12.4 \pm 1.1 \, \mu M for olmesartan medoxomil hydrolysis

  • Inhibition profile: Sensitive to PCMB (IC50=2.3μMIC_{50} = 2.3 \mu M)

CMBL Antibody Development

Two primary antibody types have been characterized:

Monoclonal Antibody (PAT2B11AT)

  • Host: BALB/c mouse

  • Immunogen: Recombinant human CMBL (aa 1-245)

  • Specificity: Recognizes native and denatured CMBL

  • Applications: Western blot, ELISA, immunohistochemistry

Polyclonal Antibody (NBP1-82069)

  • Host: Rabbit

  • Epitope: AYPCPCDIGHRLEYGGLGREVQVEHIKAYVTKSPVDAGKAVIVIQDIFGWQLPNTRYIADMISGNGYTTIVPDFFVG

  • Cross-reactivity: 88% sequence identity with mouse/rat CMBL homologs

  • Validation: Confirmed in Western blot (0.04-0.4 μg/mL working concentration) and IHC

Research Applications of CMBL Antibodies

ApplicationProtocol DetailsKey Findings Using Antibodies
Western Blot4-20% gradient gel, 1:1000 dilution Confirmed 30 kDa band in liver cytosol
ImmunohistochemistryHIER pH 6 retrieval, 1:2500 dilution Cytoplasmic staining in Purkinje cells
Enzyme CharacterizationSite-directed mutagenesis (C132A/S) 92% activity loss in mutants

Critical research insights:

  1. CMBL accounts for >85% of olmesartan medoxomil activation in human liver preparations

  2. Tissue-specific expression correlates with first-pass metabolism efficiency

  3. Polymorphisms in CMBL gene (chr5p15.2) affect drug activation rates

Target Background

Function
CMBL is a cysteine hydrolase. It converts the prodrug olmesartan medoxomil into its pharmacologically active metabolite olmesartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, in the liver and intestine. CMBL may also activate beta-lactam antibiotics faropenem medoxomil and lenampicillin.
Gene References Into Functions
  1. Through comparative analysis of enzyme kinetics and chemical inhibition properties between recombinant protein and tissue preparations, CMBL was identified as the primary enzyme responsible for olmesartan medoxomil bioactivation in the liver and intestine. PMID: 20177059
