Size

£685.00

SKU:: 129194
Purity:: Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Mouse
Immunogen:: Full length recombinant corresponding to aa1-231 from LRAT (AAH31053) with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26kD.
Clone:: 1A11
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2.
Extra Details:: Transfers the acyl group from the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine to all-trans retinol, producing all-trans retinyl esters. Retinyl esters are storage forms of vitamin A. LRAT plays a critical role in vision. It provides the all-trans retinyl ester substrates for the isomerohydrolase which processes the esters into 11-cis-retinol in the retinal pigment epithelium; due to a membrane-associated alcohol dehydrogenase, 11 cis-retinol is oxidized and converted into 11-cis-retinaldehyde which is the chromophore for rhodopsin and the cone photopigments. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
