Anti-HAL Antibody Picoband® Cy3 Conjugated

Histidine ammonia-lyase is a cytosolic enzyme catalyzing the first reaction in histidine catabolism, the nonoxidative deamination of L-histidine to trans-urocanic acid. Histidine ammonia-lyase defects cause histidinemia which is characterized by increased histidine and histamine and decreased urocanic acid in body fluids. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

E.coli-derived human HAL recombinant protein (Position: D65-R632) . Human HALshares 95.2% and 95.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat HAL, respectively.
