Background Information
FECH(ferrochelatase, mitochondrial ) is also named as heme synthase, protoheme ferro-lyase and belongs to the ferrochelatase family. It is a homodimeric (86 kDa) mitochondrial membrane-associated enzyme that catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin to form heme(PMID:11175906). It has 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing and the full length protein has a transit peptide with 54 amino acids.

Reviews
What customers say
Both reviewers gave this antibody a perfect 5-star rating for Western Blot. One user successfully used it at 1:800 dilution with murine liver homogenates (30 µg lysates), reporting excellent performance. The other used a 1:1000 dilution on human cell lines with overnight primary incubation at 4°C and a 2-hour secondary incubation at room temperature. Overall, users report reliable results across species and applications.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
