Anti-ATP citrate lyase/ACLY Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

ATP citrate lyase, aslo known as ACLY, is an enzyme that in animals represents an important step in fatty acid biosynthesis. ATP citrate lyase is the primary enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytosolic acetyl-CoA in many tissues. The enzyme is a tetramer of apparently identical subunits. The product, acetyl-CoA, in animals serves several important biosynthetic pathways, including lipogenesis and cholesterogenesis. It is activated by insulin. In nervous tissue, ATP citrate-lyase may be involved in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine. In plants, ATP citrate lyase generates the acetyl-CoA for cytosolically-synthesized metabolites.

E. coli-derived human ATP citrate lyase recombinant protein (Position: M1-I180) . Human ATP citrate lyase shares 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat ATP citrate lyase.
