REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of homocysteine and serine into cystathionine. It is sometimes referred to as CBS monelyne or cystathionine synthase. CBS is a heme-containing protein with a molecular mass of approximately 63 kDa. It is expressed widely in tissues including the liver brain and kidney. The activity of CBS is regulated by various factors including the availability of cofactors like pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Biological function summary
The enzyme CBS plays a role in the transsulfuration pathway where it helps in the metabolism of homocysteine. CBS is a part of a larger complex in some tissues where it interacts with other enzymes involved in sulfur amino acid metabolism. This function is important in maintaining cellular sulfur amino acid balance and protecting cells from oxidative stress caused by elevated levels of homocysteine.
Pathways
CBS functions in the transsulfuration pathway which connects the methionine cycle and the synthesis of glutathione. This pathway is essential for detoxification and antioxidant protection. CBS interrelates with other proteins like cystathionine gamma-lyase (CGL) within this pathway. The interplay between CBS and CGL ensures the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine which is a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione.
CBS deficiency is linked to homocystinuria a disorder characterized by high levels of homocysteine in the blood and urine. Symptoms include cardiovascular problems and developmental delays. Furthermore alterations in CBS activity relate to cardiovascular diseases due to hyperhomocysteinemia. Within these conditions CBS interacts with other proteins involved in homocysteine metabolism such as methionine synthase which also contributes to the complexity of these disorders.
