CBS Antibody (A-2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects cystathionine b-synthase (CBS) in mouse, rat, and human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CBS is a crucial cytoplasmic protein predominantly expressed in the human liver and pancreas, with lower levels found in the heart and brain, and CBS plays a vital role in the first step of homocysteine transulfuration, catalyzing the conversion of homocysteine into cystathionine using pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. The regulation of CBS activity is significantly influenced by allosteric activation from adenosyl-methionine, which is essential for maintaining proper metabolic function. Deficiencies in CBS can lead to homocystinuria, a genetic disorder characterized by a disruption in sulfur amino acid metabolism that can have severe consequences for multiple organ systems. Symptoms of this condition include arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, dislocated optic lenses, cognitive impairments, and skeletal abnormalities, highlighting the importance of CBS in overall health and metabolic balance. Anti-CBS antibody (A-2) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying the implications of CBS in metabolic disorders and potential therapeutic targets.
