A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of ALAS1 antibody, Alternative Names: ALAS1 control peptide, ALAS1 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-ALAS1 Blocking Peptide, Aminolevulinate Delta- Synthase 1 Blocking Peptide, ALAS Blocking Peptide, ALAS3 Blocking Peptide, ALASH Blocking Peptide, MIG4 Blocking Peptide
Delta-aminolevulinate synthase catalyzes the condensation of glycine with succinyl-CoA to form delta-aminolevulinic acid. This nuclear-encoded mitochondrial enzyme is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the mammalian heme biosynthetic pathway. There are 2 tissue-specific isozymes: a housekeeping enzyme encoded by the ALAS1 gene and an erythroid tissue-specific enzyme encoded by ALAS2.
