Folate Antibody (8/39): sc-57738

Folate Antibody (8/39) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Folate in non-species reactive samples by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Folate, the anion form of folic acid, is a vital water-soluble vitamin B that plays a crucial role in cellular functions, particularly in DNA synthesis and repair. Folate is essential for the production and maintenance of new cells, especially during periods of rapid cell division and growth, making Folate particularly important in prenatal development and cancer prevention. Folate′s involvement in single-carbon transfer reactions is critical for the synthesis of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. A deficiency in Folate can lead to serious health issues, including megaloblastic anemia, characterized by the production of abnormally large red blood cells. Furthermore, low levels of Folate have been linked to various diseases, such as cardiovascular conditions and certain cancers, underscoring Folate′s importance in maintaining overall health. Anti-Folate antibody (8/39) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying the implications of Folate in health and disease, providing insights into Folate′s role in cellular processes and potential therapeutic targets.

The preferred Folate antibody is Folate Antibody (8/33): sc-57737.
