This antibody detects nitrotyrosine group in biological material, It can be used as a marker for peroxynitrite formation in particular tissues
Nitrotyrosine can be detected in proteins in a variety of tissues and is often associated with pathological conditions. Nitric oxide reacts with superoxide to form peroxynitrite, which can undergo heterocleavage to form nitrogen and hydroxyl ions. The nitration of tyrosine residues by nitro ions forms nitrotyrosine groups in the corresponding protein. Therefore, nitrotyrosine is a marker of inflammation-related tissue damage.
