General description
Monoclonal Anti-Folic Acid (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced from the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes of an immunized mouse. The normal range for folate in serum is 3-13 ng/ml.
Specificity
Monoclonal Anti-Folic Acid antibody binds specifically to folate and detects an epitope present on both folic acid and its biologically active analog 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5MTHFA). The product reacts with free folate, folate conjugated to a carrier such as KLH or BSA, and folic acid in human plasma or serum bound to the endogenous Folate Binder. The antibody does not cross-react with tetrahydrofolic acid, folinic acid or dihydrofolic acid.
Immunogen
5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5MTHFA) conjugated to KLH
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Folic Acid antibody is suitable for use in western blot (diluted 1:1000).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Folic acid (folate) is a vitamin that regulates one-carbon transfer during the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Methionine is a precursor of S-adenosylmethionine, which is the main methyl donor for methylation reactions. Thus, folic acid is essential for regulation of DNA methylations and for epigenetic modifications that modulate gene expression. Folate deficiency has been associated with a wide range of disorders including colorectal cancers, depression, neural tube defects and cerebral dysfunctions
Folic acid is essential for normal growth of mammalian cells. Folic acid deficiencies are common in pregnant women, alcoholics, those whose diets do not include raw fruits and vegetables, and people with structural or functional damage to the small intestine. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are metabolically interrelated.

Epidemiological, clinical, and animal studies collectively indicate that dietary folate intake and blood folate levels are inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk. Folate plays an essential role in one-carbon transfer involving remethylation of homocysteine to methionine, which is a precursor
