Target/Specificity | This CRAT antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 66-96 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human CRAT. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:50~100 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CRAT Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CRAT (HGNC:2342) |
---|---|
Synonyms | CAT1 |
Function | Catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from carnitine to coenzyme A (CoA) and regulates the acyl-CoA/CoA ratio. Also plays a crucial role in the transport of fatty acids for beta- oxidation (PubMed:15099582, PubMed:29395073). Responsible for the synthesis of short- and branched-chain acylcarnitines (PubMed:23485643). Active towards some branched-chain amino acid oxidation pathway (BCAAO) intermediates (PubMed:23485643). Trans-2- enoyl-CoAs and 2-methylacyl-CoAs are poor substrates (PubMed:23485643). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum. Peroxisome. Mitochondrion inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Matrix side [Isoform 2]: Peroxisome |
Tissue Location | Mostly in skeletal muscle, less in heart, liver and pancreas, only weakly detectable in brain, placenta, lung and kidney |

Background
CRAT is carnitine acetyltransferase (CRAT), which is a key enzyme in the metabolic pathway in mitochondria, peroxisomes and endoplasmic reticulum. CRAT catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from an acyl-CoA thioester to carnitine and regulates the ratio of acylCoA/CoA in the subcellular compartments.
