Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (PTL/PTA I) (HRP)

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is a 40kD protein that catalyzes the oxidation of substrates by hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a colored or fluorescent product or release of light as a byproduct of the reaction. It is most commonly used for blotting, immunoassays and immunohistochemistry methods. Psophocarpus tetragonolobus Lectin (PTL/PTA I) is conjugated to HRP at an appropriate ratio to provide optimal staining characteristics.
