Anti-PHGDH Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes the enzyme which is involved in the early steps of L-serine synthesis in animal cells. L-serine is required for D-serine and other amino acid synthesis. The enzyme requires NAD/NADH as a cofactor and forms homotetramers for activity. Mutations in this gene have been found in a family with congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation and other symptoms. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, however the full-length nature of most are not known.

E.coli-derived human PHGDH recombinant protein (Position: L15-F533) . Human PHGDH shares 94.4% and 94.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat PHGDH, respectively.
