| Formulation |
The ACAT1 solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), 0.1M NaCl, 10% glycerol and 1mM DTT. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
ACAT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 417 amino acids (34-427) and having a molecular mass of 43.8 kDa.ACAT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (ACAT1) is an enzyme member of the membrane-bound acyltransferase family and Sterol o-acyltransferase subfamily. The ACAT1 enzyme catalyzes the reversible formation of acetoacetyl-CoA from 2 molecules of acetyl-CoA. ACAT1 plays a part in lipoprotein compilation and dietary cholesterol absorption. Added to its acyltransferase activity, ACAT1 acts as a ligase. |
| Expression host |
E.coli. |
| Synonyms |
Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, mitochondrial, EC 2.3.1.9, Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, T2, ACAT1, ACAT, MAT, THIL. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
