Description
DHFR Monoclonal Antibody [PAT5B2AT] (CPAB0210)
The DHFR Polyclonal Antibody (CPAB0210) is a valuable tool for researchers studying dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an enzyme involved in folate metabolism and essential for cell growth and division. This antibody, generated in rabbits, has high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blotting applications.DHFR is a key target in cancer therapy, as it plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and repair. Overexpression of DHFR has been linked to resistance to certain chemotherapeutic agents, making it a promising target for drug development.
By using the DHFR Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can detect and analyze DHFR expression in various cell types, aiding in the understanding of its role in cancer and potentially identifying new therapeutic interventions.Overall, the DHFR Polyclonal Antibody is a reliable tool for studies in cancer biology, pharmacology, and drug development, providing valuable insights into the function and regulation of DHFR in health and disease.

Background: | Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, with NADPH as electron donor that can be converted to the kinds of tetrahydrofolate cofactors applied in 1-carbon transfer chemistry. DHFR converts dihydrofolate into tetrahydrofolate, which is a methyl group shuttle required for the de novo synthesis of purines, thymidylic acid, and specific amino acids. Even though the functional DHFR gene is mapped to chromosome 5, numerous intronless processed pseudogenes or dihydrofolate reductase-like genes are identified on separate chromosomes. DHFR deficiency is associated with megaloblastic anemia.DHFR knockdown plays a role in the anticancer activity of 2-hydroxyoleic acid. DHFR gene insertion/deletion polymorphism is linked to variation in serum and red blood cell folate concentrations in women. |
