Anti-SPR Antibody Picoband® Fluoro594 Conjugated

Sepiapterin reductase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SPR gene. This gene encodes an aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of pteridine derivatives and is important in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) . Mutations in this gene result in DOPA-responsive dystonia due to sepiaterin reductase deficiency. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 1.
