Anti-BCO2 Antibody

BCO2 (Beta-Carotene Oxygenase 2) is a mitochondrial dioxygenase that catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of carotenoid substrates such as lutein and zeaxanthin, contributing to vitamin A metabolism and the maintenance of macular pigment in retinal tissue. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied as a 50 µL vial and is validated for Western Blot detection in Human, Mouse, and Rat samples. The polyclonal host response provides broader epitope coverage than a monoclonal reagent, supporting consistent detection of endogenous BCO2 in studies of hepatic, adipose, and mitochondrial biology. Researchers should aliquot upon receipt and store at -20 °C to limit freeze-thaw cycles, protecting the antibody from light exposure during handling.
