RPIA polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme, which catalyzes the reversible conversion between ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate in the pentose-phosphate pathway. This gene is highly conserved in most organisms. The enzyme plays an essential role in the carbohydrate metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency. A pseudogene is found on chromosome 18.

Alternative Name:
RPI, RPIAD

Application Dilution: WB: 1:200 - 1:1000
