Application

Anti-SHMT2 (AB2) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 2.5µg/ml and for immunohistochemistry at a concentration of 4-8µg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SHMT2 gene encodes an enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (mitochondrial), which is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that regulates the biosynthesis of thymidylate in mammals. It catalyzes the reversible reaction of serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. Additionally, it facilitates the interconversion of serine and glycine and is associated with mitochondrial DNA which assists in preventing the uracil accumulation in mtDNA.
