Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase(G6PD) detection. Tested with WB in Human. No cross reactivity with other proteins. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, also known as G6PD or G6PDH, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the G6PD gene. It is mapped to Xq28. G6PD plays a key role in the production of ribose 5-phosphate and the generation of NADPH in the hexose monophosphate pathway. Because this pathway is the only NADPH-generation process in mature red cells, which lack the citric adid cycle, a genetic deficiency of G6PD is often associated with adverse physiologic effects. It has been found that aldosterone decreased G6PD expression and activity, resulting in increased oxidant stress and decreased nitric oxide levels, similar to what is observed in G6PD-deficient endothelial cells.
Immunogen
E.coli-derived human G6PD recombinant protein (Position: E315-L515). Human G6PD shares 95% and 96% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat G6PD, respectively.
