The LCY1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC035906) is a valuable tool for researchers studying LCY1, a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of lycopene, a carotenoid with antioxidant properties. This antibody, produced in rabbits, shows high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications.LCY1, also known as lycopene cyclase, is essential for the conversion of lycopene into other carotenoids, making it crucial for processes such as photosynthesis in plants and potentially offering health benefits in humans.
By targeting the LCY1 protein, researchers can better understand the regulation of carotenoid metabolism and potentially develop therapies or interventions related to oxidative stress and disease prevention.Whether investigating plant biology, nutrition, or human health, the LCY1 Polyclonal Antibody offers reliable detection and analysis of LCY1 expression in various samples, making it a valuable tool for advancing research in fields such as biochemistry, agriculture, and medicine.

Recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana Lycopene β cyclase, chloroplastic protein (81-501AA)
Involved in carotenoid biosynthesis. Catalyzes the double cyclization reaction which converts lycopene to beta-carotene and neurosporene to beta-zeacarotene. Major lycopene beta-cyclase that does not seem to be involved in neoxanthin synthesis. Involved in salt tolerance improvement by increasing synthesis of carotenoids, which impairs reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protects the photosynthetic system under salt stress.
Catalyzes the double cyclization reaction which converts lycopene to beta-carotene and neurosporene to beta-zeacarotene.

NCBI Summary:
Encodes a protein with lycopene beta-cyclase activity. This enzyme uses the linear, symmetrical lycopene as substrate. However, unlike the ?-cyclase which adds only one ring, the beta-cyclase introduces a ring at both ends of lycopene to form the bicyclic beta-carotene.
