A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of FECH antibody, Alternative Names: FECH control peptide, FECH antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-FECH Blocking Peptide, Ferrochelatase Blocking Peptide, Protoporphyria Blocking Peptide, EPP Blocking Peptide, FCE Blocking Peptide
Ferrochelatase is localized to the mitochondrion where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Defects in ferrochelatase are associated with protoporphyria.Ferrochelatase is localized to the mitochondrion where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Defects in ferrochelatase are associated with protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
