Mouse Anti-Porcine Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 5 (PEX5) Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 (pPEX5) is a critical protein involved in the biogenesis of peroxisomes, which are essential organelles responsible for various metabolic processes, including the β-oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids, synthesis of plasmalogens, and detoxification of reactive oxygen species. pPEX5 functions as a receptor that recognizes and targets proteins destined for the peroxisomal matrix, facilitating their import into the organelle. This protein plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of cellular health by ensuring the proper assembly and functioning of peroxisomes. In pigs, pPEX5 is expressed in tissues with high metabolic activity, such as the liver and kidney, where peroxisomal function is crucial for lipid metabolism and the elimination of metabolic waste products.
