REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.
This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our

The enzyme HAO1 also known as GOX (glycolate oxidase) functions by catalyzing the oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate generating hydrogen peroxide in peroxisomes. The molecular mass of HAO1 is approximately 43 kDa. It is expressed in several tissues with high levels found in liver and kidney. The protein may also be referred to as alpha GOX which highlights its identity and specialization within oxidase family.
Biological function summary
HAO1 facilitates the metabolism of hydroxyl acids playing an important role in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism. It does not form part of a multi-protein complex but operates as a monomer maintaining cellular homeostasis of organic acids. By helping convert glycolate into a form that cells use or excrete HAO1 prevents the accumulation of compounds that can become toxic at elevated levels.
Pathways
Glycolate oxidase takes part in the glyoxylate cycle and photorespiration in plants which also has parallels in animal metabolism where it participates in handling waste products. HAO1 interacts within the network of metabolic pathways along with proteins like lactate dehydrogenase that facilitate the conversion of chemical compounds. It plays a role in broader metabolomic balancing acts that maintain overall organismal homeostasis.
Mutations and dysfunctions in HAO1 have links to primary hyperoxaluria type 1 a disease characterized by excessive production and build-up of oxalate leading to kidney stones and renal failure. The interplay with proteins like alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase which helps detoxify glyoxylate is important in these conditions. This disorder highlights the importance of proper glycolate metabolism and its regulation in maintaining health.
