Background Information
Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS), also named as GSAS and PYCS, catalyzes the ATP and the NAD(P)H-dependent conversion of L-glutamate to glutamic gamma-semialdehyde (GSA) which is the metabolic precursor for proline biosynthesis(PMID:8761662). This protein includes 2 domains: glutamate 5-kinase and gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase. In the N-terminal section, it belongs to the glutamate 5-kinase family and in the C-terminal section, it belongs to the gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase family. Defects in ALDH18A1 are the cause of cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type 3A (ARCL3A)(PMID:18478038). It has 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing.

Reviews
What customers say
The single review rates the antibody 4 out of 5 stars for Western Blot on human kidney cancer cells (RCC4). The user lysed cells at 95°C in SDS-loading buffer, ran a 4–20% denaturing SDS-PAGE, and blotted to a nitrocellulose membrane. Detection used the primary antibody at 1:1,000 in blocking buffer (PBS, 5% milk, 0.1% Tween-20), a secondary at 1:10,000, and ECL reagents, yielding a clear signal. Overall, the reviewer found the antibody effective for WB under these conditions.

Kristian (Verified Customer) (02-05-2020) | The cells were collected, then lyzed five minutes at 95C in SDS-loading buffer.The lysate was run on a 4-20% denaturing SDS-PAGE, then blotted unto a nitrocellulose membrane. The protein was detected using primary antibody diluted 1:1,000 in blotto (PBS, 5% milk, 0.1% Tween-20), then secondary in a 1:10,000 dilution in blotto.Detected using ECL reagents.
