DHFR Antibody (A-4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). DHFR plays a vital role in cellular metabolism by catalyzing the NADPH-dependent reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, which is essential for the synthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and certain amino acids. This enzymatic activity is crucial for DNA synthesis; thus, inhibition of DHFR can lead to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, making DHFR a significant target in cancer therapy. Notably, the expression of methotrexate-resistant variants of DHFR in normal hematopoietic cells presents a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of methotrexate treatment by reducing toxicity to healthy tissues. Anti-DHFR antibody (A-4) enables researchers to gain insights into the regulation and function of this important enzyme, facilitating advancements in therapeutic approaches for various diseases.
