The FPGS polyclonal antibody is raised in the rabbit against a peptide covering amino acids 443-546 of the recombinant human FPGS. It occurs as an IgG conjugated with HRP. Its purity is greater than 95% using protein G purified. It only reacts with human samples. This FPGS antibody has been quality controlled through the ELISA test. It can bind to FPGS protein, an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of several equivalents of glutamic acid to the gamma-carboxyl group in the side chain of folate cofactors and analogs and that plays important roles in folate homeostasis.

Catalyzes conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives allowing concentration of folate compounds in the cell and the intracellular retention of these cofactors, which are important substrates for most of the folate-dependent enzymes that are involved in one-carbon transfer reactions involved in purine, pyrimidine and amino acid synthesis. Unsubstituted reduced folates are the preferred substrates. Metabolizes methotrexate (MTX) to polyglutamates.
