Anti-CBS Antibody

CBS, Cystathionine Beta-Synthase, catalyzes the first irreversible step of transsulfuration. The CBS enzyme is a homotetramer of 63-kD subunits and requires pyridoxal phosphate and heme for activity. The CBS gene, which is mapped to chromosome 21q22, contains 23 exons, ranging in size from 42 to 299 bp. The human CBS protein can substitute for the endogenous yeast CBS protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The catalytic domain of the CBS protein is located in the N-terminal 409 amino acids, and a regulatory domain is located in the C-terminal 142 amino acids.A mutation that deletes the C-terminal 145 amino acids of CBS could restore activity of several CBS mutant alleles found in homocystinurics.

Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.

Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Cystathionine beta-synthase(CBS) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human.

CBS

60587 MW

Only known pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that contains heme. Important regulator of hydrogen sulfide, especially in the brain, utilizing cysteine instead of serine to catalyze the formation of hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a gastratransmitter with signaling and cytoprotective effects such as acting as a neuromodulator in the brain to protect neurons against hypoxic injury (By similarity).

Immunogen affinity purified.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Belongs to the cysteine synthase/cystathionine beta- synthase family.
