SKU:: 351932
Purity:: Purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to human THEM2 at C-terminal.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in 10mM sodium HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.1mg/ml BSA, 150mM sodium chloride, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: THEM2 is a homotetrameric fatty acyl–CoA thioesterase (1). THEM2 and PC-TP (phosphatidylcholine transfer protein), both enriched in liver, interact to form a complex (1). Cell membrane-bound phosphatidylcholines bind to PC-TP in the complex (1). The complex in turn inhibits IRS-2 and mTORC1, which leads to the suppression of insulin signaling (1). THEM2 has also been shown to regulate adaptive thermogenesis in mice (2). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% nonfat dry milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
