A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of LSS antibody, Alternative Names: LSS control peptide, LSS antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-LSS Blocking Peptide, Lanosterol Synthase Blocking Peptide, 2,3-Oxidosqualene-Lanosterol Cyclase Blocking Peptide, OSC Blocking Peptide
LSS catalyzes the conversion of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol. It is a member of the terpene cyclase/mutase family and catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
