Designing a Western blot for MTAP? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the MTAP Western Blot GuideFacts about S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase.
Responsible for the initial step in the methionine salvage pathway after MTA was generated from S- adenosylmethionine. Has broad substrate specificity with 6- aminopurine nucleosides as preferred substrates.
