NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Vitamin A metabolism is important for vital processes such as vision, embryonic development, cell differentiation, and membrane and skin protection. The protein encoded by this gene is a key enzyme in beta-carotene metabolism to vitamin A. It catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of beta,beta-carotene into two retinal molecules.

Uniprot Description
BCMO1: Symmetrically cleaves beta-carotene into two molecules of retinal. The reaction proceeds in three stages, epoxidation of the 15,15'-double bond, hydration of the double bond leading to ring opening, and oxidative cleavage of the diol formed. Defects in BCMO1 are the cause of autosomal dominant hypercarotenemia and vitamin A deficiency (ADHVAD). Vitamin A is essential for normal embryonic development as well as normal physiological functions in children and adults. Hypercarotenemia is characterized by an excess carotene in the serum, but unlike excess vitamin A, carotene is non-toxic. So far, only a few cases of excess vitamin A have been reported. Individuals were thought to be vitamin A deficient due to an impairment in the conversion of carotenoids to retinal in the intestine. Belongs to the carotenoid oxygenase family.

Product Notes
The Goose betaCMO1 bcmo1 (Catalog #AAA072502) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA072502 ELISA Kit recognizes Goose betaCMO1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Beta-Carotene-15,15'-Monooxygenase 1, 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
