Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6909b was selected from the C-term region of human GNPAT. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GNPAT (HGNC:4416) |
---|---|
Function | Dihydroxyacetonephosphate acyltransferase catalyzing the first step in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens, a subset of phospholipids that differ from other glycerolipids by having an alkyl chain attached through a vinyl ether linkage at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone, and which unique physical properties have an impact on various aspects of cell signaling and membrane biology. |
Cellular Location | Peroxisome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ES71}; Matrix side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ES71}. Note=Exclusively localized to the lumenal side of the peroxisomal membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ES71} |
