Anti-ODC1 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway which catalyzes ornithine to putrescine. The activity level for the enzyme varies in response to growth-promoting stimuli and exhibits a high turnover rate in comparison to other mammalian proteins. Originally localized to both chromosomes 2 and 7, the gene encoding this enzyme has been determined to be located on 2p25, with a pseudogene located on 7q31-qter. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.

E.coli-derived human ODC1 recombinant protein (Position: M1-H450) . Human ODC1 shares 90.9% and 91.6% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat ODC1, respectively.
