The RFK Polyclonal Antibody (CAB9141) is a valuable tool for research involving the RFK protein, which is involved in the regulation of folate metabolism. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to the RFK protein, this antibody allows for accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an excellent choice for studies in biochemistry and molecular biology.RFK plays a crucial role in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate, a key molecule in one-carbon metabolism essential for DNA synthesis and cell growth.
Dysregulation of folate metabolism, including RFK, has been linked to various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Investigating the function of RFK is important for understanding these disease processes and developing targeted therapies.Overall, the RFK Polyclonal Antibody is a reliable tool for researchers seeking to explore the role of RFK in cellular metabolism and disease pathogenesis. Its specificity and sensitivity make it a valuable asset in the study of folate metabolism and its implications in human health.
