COX proteins are membrane-associated heme proteins that have cyclooxygenase and peroxidase activities. These enzymes are targets of NSAID （Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs） such as aspirin. Prostaglandins （PGs） formed by the enzymatic activity of COX-1 are primarily involved in the regulation of homeostatic functions throughout the body，whereas PGs formed by COX-2 primarily mediate pain，fever，and inflammation. COX-1 is constitutively expressed，with particularly high expression in gastrointestinal tissues. COX-2 is induced by cytokines and mitogens and is likely to play a role in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
应用类型
Western blotting （0.5-4 ug/ml）. However， the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. The antibody recognizes 66 kDa human Cox-2. It does not cross-react with Cox-1. Jurkat cell lysate （Cat.# 2401-100） can be used as a positive control.
