Product Description
MECR Antibody (Center) [APR08416G] | Leading Biology
Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies
Host: Rabbit
Species Reactivity: H
Specificity: This MECR antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 201-229 amino acids from the Central region of human MECR.
Cellular Localisation: [Isoform 1]: Mitochondrion
Molecular Weight: 40462
Clone: Polyclonal
Gene Name: MECR
Gene ID: 51102
Function: Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of trans-2-enoyl thioesters in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (fatty acid synthesis type II) . Fatty acid chain elongation in mitochondria uses acyl carrier protein (ACP) as an acyl group carrier, but the enzyme accepts both ACP and CoA thioesters as substrates in vitro. Displays a preference for medium-chain over short- and long-chain substrates (PubMed:18479707, PubMed:12654921, PubMed:27817865) . May provide the octanoyl chain used for lipoic acid biosynthesis, regulating protein lipoylation and mitochondrial respiratory activity particularly in Purkinje cells (By similarity) .
Summary: Tissue Location: Highly expressed in skeletal and heart muscle. Expressed at lower level in placenta, liver, kidney and pancreas Weakly or not expressed in lung.
Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Storage: Store at +4°C short term. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
