The ITPA Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to ITPA. This antibody recognizes Human, Mouse, and Rat antigen. The ITPA Antibody has been validated for the following applications: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot.
Description
Description: ITPA(Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase) catalyzes the pyrophosphohydrolysis of inosine triphosphate (ITP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP).It expresses in the cytoplasm(PMID:11278832).It can be detected a band of 44 Kda as a homodimer in the western blot(PMID:19631656) though its predictedsize is 21kd.This protein has two isforms with the molecular weight of 20KDa and 21KDa.This antibody is specific to this protein.
Function: Pyrophosphatase that hydrolyzes the non-canonical purine nucleotides inosine triphosphate (ITP), deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP) as well as 2'-deoxy-N-6-hydroxylaminopurine triposphate (dHAPTP) and xanthosine 5'-triphosphate (XTP) to their respective monophosphate derivatives. The enzyme does not distinguish between the deoxy-and ribose forms. Probably excludes non-canonical purines from RNA and DNA precursor pools, thus preventing their incorporation into RNA and DNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions.
Subunit Structure: Homodimer.
Similarity: Belongs to the HAM1 NTPase family
