Protocol Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity SHMT2 (E7X5B) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total SHMT2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with SHMT1 protein. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu402 of human SHMT2 protein. Background Serine hydroxymethyltransferases 1 and 2 (SHMT1, SHMT2) are cytoplasmic and mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferases, respectively (1,2). They catalyze the conversion of serine to glycine with the transfer of β-carbon from serine to tetrahydrofolate (THF) to form 5,10-methylene-THF (1,2). Research studies indicate that SHMT1 hemizygosity is associated with higher risk of intestinal cancer in mice of a certain genetic background (3). Suppression of SHMT2 was shown to block cell proliferation (4).
