Anti-γ-ECS [11H7.C1.A2]

Invented at University of Georgia

Info

Catalogue Number 153932
Applications ELISA IF WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Gamma-Glutamylcysteine Synthetase
Synonyms γ-ECS
Reactivity E.coli, Plant and Saccharomyces
Relevance Together with glutathione synthetase and phytochelatin synthetase, gamma-glutamyl Cys sythetase (γ-ECS) is an enzyme involved in, and required for, synthesizing phytochelatins (PC). γ-ECS is involved in the biosynthesis of Glutathione. PC are multidentate ligands that are able to form chelates with thio-reactive, “soft” metal cations such as Cd2+, Hg2+, and at least one oxoanion (AsO33-). In certain plants, deficiency of such enzymes leads to low tolerance to metal contamination while mutants over-expressing them are highly tolerant to metal contamination and may be used in phyto-remediation of heavy metals.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Synthetic peptide
Subclass IgG2a
Notes This mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody was generated against a synthetic peptide and recognizes E. coli, plants and fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe ) gamma glutamyl Cys sythetase (γ-ECS), N terminal-MAP. All lines have been validated for use in WB, ELISA, and IF.
