AHP1672 specifically recognises and epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of BHMT (Betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase). BHMT is a 45kDa cytosolic zinc metalloenzyme predominantly expressed in the liver and kidney, which acts as a major regulator of homocysteine homeostasis, by catalyzing the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine.

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to BHMT (CT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
