AWAT2 Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-AWAT2 Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

AWAT2 (Acyl-CoA Wax Alcohol Acyltransferase 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Regulation of lipid metabolism by Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) . AWAT2 encodes an enzyme belonging to the diacylglycerol acyltransferase family. This enzyme produces wax esters by the esterification of long chain (or wax) alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids. It functions in lipid metabolism in the skin, mostly in undifferentiated peripheral sebocytes. This enzyme may also have acyl-CoA: retinol acyltransferase activities, where it catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerols and retinyl esters.
