SHMT / Anti-Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) antibody

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) catalyzes the reversible conversion of serine and tetrahydrofolate (THF) to glycine and 5,10-methylene THF. This reaction provides the largest part of the one-carbon units available to the cell.The Arabidopsis genome contains seven genes (SHM1 to SHM7).

PhytoAB has PHY0071A antibody for SHMT, the immunogen is KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide of SHMT derived from Zea mays NP_001130435.1.

Among 25 analyzed species, the sequence of the synthetic peptide used for immunization is 100% homologues with the sequence in Zea mays, Oryza sativa Japonica Group,and 80-99% homologues with the sequence in Glycine max, Brassica napus, Brassica rapa, Cucumis sativus, Solanum tuberosum, Gossypium raimondii, Medicago truncatula, Vitis vinifera, Populus trichocarpa, Solanum lycopersicum, Nicotiana tabacum. 
The sequence of the synthetic peptide used for immunization is 93% homologues with the sequence in the SHM5 (AT4G13890), 86% with SHM4 (AT4G13930), 80% with SHM6 (AT1G22020) in Arabidopsis thaliana.
