Rabbit anti Human Degenerative Spermatocyte Homolog 2 (DEGS2)

Rabbit anti Human Degenerative Spermatocyte Homolog 2 (DEGS2), Polyclonal

Background: Bifunctional enzyme which acts as both a sphingolipid delta(4)-desaturase and a sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase. Up-regulated during keratinocyte differentiation. Not expressed at day 0 or day 3 after differentiation, detected on day 6 and increases by day 9. Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase family. DEGS subfamily. Highly expressed in skin, intestine and kidney.

Positive Control: Highly expressed in skin, intestine and kidney.

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide derived from human DEGS2 protein.

Purification Method: Antigen Immunoaffiinity Purification.

Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide.
