A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of CTH antibody, Alternative Names: Cystathionase control peptide, Cystathionase antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-Cystathionase Blocking Peptide, MGC9471 Blocking Peptide, Cystathionine Gamma-Lyase Blocking Peptide, CTH Blocking Peptide
CTH is a cytoplasmic enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathione derived from methionine into cysteine. Glutathione synthesis in the liver is dependent upon the availability of cysteine. Mutations in its gene cause cystathioninuria.
