Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase (gene PCBD1) in human and mouse samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 12.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 12 kDa.
PCBD1 is a bifunctional protein. In the cytoplasm it acts as pterin-4α-carbinolamine dehydratase, helping regenerate the tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor, while in the nucleus it binds HNF1A and HNF1B and boosts their transcriptional activity (hence its alias DCoH).

Immunogen
Recombinant human PCBD1 fragment (Met1–Thr105), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 99% and 100%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and mouse. UniProt places pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
