Extra Details:
The final step in heme metabolism in mammals is catalyzed by the cytosolic biliverdin reductase enzymes A and B. BLVRB is found predominantly in fetal liver. BLVRA is a major component of human adult liver and is identical to the enzyme previously reported as biliverdin reductase. The FLR cDNA, which appeared to be identical to the BLVRB cDNA, encodes a deduced 206aa protein. Western blot analysis of rat tissues showed highest levels of FLR in the erythrocytes and liver. Northern blot analysis detected a 1.1-kb transcript in human tissues. that flavins are the effective electron acceptor of the enzyme and purified FLR to homogeneity. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:100-1:5000 Western Blot: 1:50-400 Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:50-500 Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:10-100 Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-500 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
