Related Product Information for anti-FPGS antibody
FPGS is the folylpolyglutamate synthetase enzyme. This enzyme has a central role in establishing and maintaining both cytosolic and mitochondrial folylpolyglutamate concentrations and, therefore, is essential for folate homeostasis and the survival of proliferating cells. This enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent addition of glutamate moieties to folate and folate derivatives.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes the folylpolyglutamate synthetase enzyme. This enzyme has a central role in establishing and maintaining both cytosolic and mitochondrial folylpolyglutamate concentrations and, therefore, is essential for folate homeostasis and the survival of proliferating cells. This enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent addition of glutamate moieties to folate and folate derivatives. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

Uniprot Description

FPGS: Catalyzes conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives allowing concentration of folate compounds in the cell and the intracellular retention of these cofactors, which are important substrates for most of the folate-dependent enzymes that are involved in one-carbon transfer reactions involved in purine, pyrimidine and amino acid synthesis. Unsubstitued reduced folates are the preferred substrates. Metabolizes methotrexate (MTX) to polyglutamates. Belongs to the folylpolyglutamate synthase family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Ligase; Mitochondrial; Cofactor and Vitamin Metabolism - folate biosynthesis; EC 6.3.2.17

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9q34.1

Cellular Component: mitochondrion; mitochondrial matrix; mitochondrial inner membrane; cytoplasm; cytosol

Molecular Function: tetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate synthase activity; ATP binding

Biological Process: organ regeneration; vitamin metabolic process; nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide and nucleic acid metabolic process; tetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate biosynthetic process; brain development; folic acid metabolic process; one-carbon compound metabolic process; liver development; water-soluble vitamin metabolic process

Product Notes

The FPGS fpgs (Catalog #AAA9214786) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 304-330. The FPGS Antibody (Center) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's FPGS can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FPGS fpgs for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FPGS, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
