Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-CA6 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total CA6 protein._x000D_ The CA6 (carbonic anhydrase 6) gene codes for salivary trophic factor, also called as gustin protein. CA6 gene is mapped to human chromosome 1p36.23._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CA6._x000D_ Immunogen Range: 231-280_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ The hydration of carbon hydroxide in saliva is catalyzed by CA6 (carbonic anhydrase 6) protein. Mutation in the gene affects cell growth and fungiform papillae preservation. The encoded protein is significantly associated with taste bud function and buffer capacity of saliva. CA6 is involved in the dental calculus formation observed in periodontal disease. It is also known to prevent the damage caused on dental tissues, due to mineral deficiency and tooth decay._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
