GPAT2 Antibody: FITC (OABF00651-FITC)

GPAT2 is an 801 amino acid mitochondrial multi-pass membrane protein belonging to the GPAT/DAPAT family. GPAT2 is highly expressed in testis with lower levels in heart, liver, kidney, spleen and adipose cells. Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), GPAT2 esterifies an acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate, an essential step in glycerolipid biosynthesis. GPAT2 contain a HXXXXD motif, which is critical for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate. Three isoforms of GPAT2 exist due to alternative splicing events.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
