Mouse Anti-Bovine CNPase Monoclonal Antibody

Bovine CNPase, or 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphodiesterase, is an enzyme that plays a role in the central nervous system, particularly in myelin formation, and has been implicated in various cellular processes including mitochondrial function and cell death mechanisms. It is found in unmyelinated cells and other cellular structures, and its specific physiological functions in these contexts are still being elucidated. CNPase is involved in the regulation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), which is significant in cell death through apoptosis and necrosis. This enzyme's participation in the development of diseases such as heart disease and aging, as well as its potential role in alcohol dependence, highlights its importance as a target for therapeutic strategies in mitochondria-related diseases.
