Anti-SDHB Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

SDHB (Succinate Dehydrogenase Complex, Subunit B, iron sulfur protein), also known as iron-sulfur subunit of complex II (Ip) or SDH2, HOMOLOG OF, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDHB gene. SDHB is one of four protein subunits forming succinate dehydrogenase, the other three being SDHA, SDHC and SDHD. The SDHB subunit is connected to the SDHA subunit on the hydrophilic, catalytic end of the SDH complex. The SDHB gene is mapped on 1p36.13. It is stated that the nuclear-encoded Krebs cycle enzymes fumarate hydratase and succinate dehydrogenases like SDHB act as tumor suppressors, and germline mutations in these genes predispose individuals to leiomyomas and renal cancer and to paragangliomas, respectively. In affected members of families with paragangliomas-4, mutations were identified in the SDHB gene.
