Folic Acid BSA Conjugate is a high-purity reagent designed for folate-targeted assay development, nanoparticle delivery studies, and metabolic pathway research. Folic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin, plays essential roles in biosynthetic reactions involving single-carbon transfers and the synthesis of purines, thymidine, and amino acids.
In its active formTetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA)folic acid is reduced by dihydrofolate reductase and participates in key cellular processes. This conjugate links folic acid to bovine serum albumin (BSA), enhancing immunogenicity and compatibility with antibody-based detection platforms. Supplied in PBS (pH 7.4), it is available in 0.5 mg format and should be stored at 20C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve conjugate integrity.
Key benefits:
- Folic acid conjugated to BSA for enhanced immunogenicity
- Validated purity>95%
- Supports ELISA, folate receptor targeting, and metabolic research
- Stable at 20C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw
Products are for in vitro research use only (RUO).
