Anti-MTRR Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of the ferredoxin-NADP (+) reductase (FNR) family of electron transferases. This protein functions in the synthesis of methionine by regenerating methionine synthase to a functional state. Because methionine synthesis requires methyl-group transfer by a folate donor, activity of the encoded enzyme is important for folate metabolism and cellular methylation. Mutations in this gene can cause homocystinuria-megaloblastic anemia, cbl E type. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

E.coli-derived human MTRR recombinant protein (Position: L7-S698) . Human MTRRshares 78.3% and 79% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MTRR, respectively.
