Human Beta,beta-carotene 9',10'-oxygenase ELISA Kit | BCO2 elisa kit
Human Beta,beta-carotene 9',10'-oxygenase ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an enzyme which oxidizes carotenoids such as beta-carotene during the biosynthesis of vitamin A. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
Uniprot Description
BCDO2: Asymmetrically cleaves beta-carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta-apo-10'-carotenal and beta-ionone. Besides beta-carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects. Belongs to the carotenoid oxygenase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human BCO2 bco2 (Catalog #AAA765460) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA765460 ELISA Kit recognizes Human BCO2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Beta,beta-carotene 9',10'-oxygenase, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
