Extra Details:: Glucose and insulin are anabolic signals which upregulate the transcriptions of a series of lipogenic enzymes to convert excess carbohydrate into triglycerides for efficient energy storage. DGAT1 is a microsomal enzyme that assists in the synthesis of fatty acids into triglycerides. DGAT catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol (DAG) and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. DGAT plays a fundamental role in the metabolism of cellular diacylglycerol and is important in higher eukaryotes for physiologic processes involving triacylglycerol metabolism such as intestinal fat absorption, lipoprotein assembly, adipose tissue formation, and lactation. DGAT1 is involved in fat absorption in the intestine and in basal level triglyceride synthesis in adipose tissue, where it is more highly expressed. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:64,000 Western Blot: 0.3-1ug/ml, observed in human and rat duodenum lysates on ~55kD bands Immunohistochemistry: 3.75ug/ml in Paraffin embedded Human Colon. Flow Cytometry: 10ug/ml using A431 cells Immunofluorescence: 10ug/ml, shows strong expression of the protein seen in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm of A431 cell.
