Anti-P3H2 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of the prolyl 3-hydroxylase subfamily of 2-oxo-glutarate-dependent dioxygenases. These enzymes play a critical role in collagen chain assembly, stability and cross-linking by catalyzing post-translational 3-hydroxylation of proline residues. Mutations in this gene are associated with nonsyndromic severe myopia with cataract and vitreoretinal degeneration, and downregulation of this gene may play a role in breast cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

E.coli-derived human P3H2 recombinant protein (Position: E106-R494) . Human P3H2 shares 88.9% and 89.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat P3H2, respectively.
