Background:

Sterol methyltransferase (SMT), the enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that catalyzes the conversion of sterol acceptor in the presence of AdoMet to C-24 methylated sterol and AdoHcy. Arabidopsis contains three SMT—sterol methyltransferase 1 (SMT1, AT5G13710), SMT2 (AT1G20330), and SMT3 (AT1G76090).

  Synonyms:

SMT1, Cycloartenol-C-24-methyltransferase, 24-sterol C-methyltransferase 1, Protein STEROL METHYLTRANSFERASE 1, Protein CEPHALOPOD

  Immunogen:

KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide of SMT1 derived from Arabidopsis thaliana AT5G13710.

  Form:

Lyophilized

  Quantity:

150 µg

  Purification:

Immunogen affinity purified

  Reconstitution:  

Reconstitution with 150 µl of 0.01 M sterile PBS. 
"Note: please spin tube briefly prior to opening it to avoid any losses that might occur from lyophilized material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube".
