Anti-MVD Antibody

Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MVD) catalyzes the final ATP-dependent step of the mevalonate pathway, converting mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate into isopentenyl diphosphate, a precursor used for cholesterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised against human MVD and is supplied as 100 µl in a vial of affinity-purified reagent suitable for western blot, immunohistochemistry on paraffin and frozen sections, and immunofluorescence imaging of cultured cells. The antibody detects endogenous MVD expression and is commonly used to investigate cholesterol biosynthesis, the mevalonate pathway in cancer and metabolic disease research, and disorders linked to MVD deficiency such as porokeratosis. For best results, aliquot the antibody upon arrival and store at -20 degrees C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve activity across multiple experiments.
