Human 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Homocysteine Methyltransferase (MTR) ELISA Kit

Specifically developed for the quantitative measurement of human methionine synthase, also called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR), this Assay Genie kit targets an enzyme central to folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism. MTR catalyzes the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine in a reaction that requires methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, as an essential cofactor, linking folate status to downstream methylation pathways. Researchers studying hyperhomocysteinemia, neural tube defects, cardiovascular risk, or the well-characterized MTR A2756G polymorphism use this assay to evaluate enzyme levels in clinical and translational research. The kit is supplied in a 96-assay microplate configuration and supports measurement in human serum or plasma samples, tissue homogenate preparations, and related research specimen types. Each assay uses an ELISA workflow with an absorbance-based readout for quantitative analysis in research use only applications.
