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 5-star ratings for Western Blot applications. One user successfully detected the target in murine liver whole organ homogenates using a 1:800 dilution with 5% milk/TBST, reporting that the antibody "worked very well" with 30 µg of lysate. The other user applied it to human cell lines at a 1:1000 dilution, incubating the primary antibody overnight at 4°C followed by a rabbit secondary antibody for 2 hours at room temperature. Overall, users report reliable performance across species and tissue types with straightforward protocols.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
