Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase 1, Muscle (CPT1C) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

In cells, excess of metabolic fuel is converted into fatty acids in cytosol and oxidized later in mitochondria to generate ATP and acetyl-CoA. In fatty acid synthesis, catalytic formation of malonyl-CoA (precursor for long-chain fatty acyl-CoA, LCFA-CoA) from acetyl-CoA by Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC-1) is the rate limiting step. The translocation of LCFA-CoA from cytosol to mitochondria is catalyzed by two carnitine palmitoyl transferases (CPT-1 & CPT-2) and regulated by ACC-2, the rate limiting step of mitochondrial fatty acid b-oxidation. Activities of ACC-1 and 2 are regulated by their phosphorylation by 5'-AMPactivated protein kinase (AMPK). Diabetes deranges AMPK master-switch and represses the ACC-1 gene expression and stimulates excessive fatty acid oxidation which in turn interferes with glucose metabolism. Mitochondrial oxidation of LC-FCA is initiated by the sequential action of CPT-1, which is located in the outer membrane, and CPT-2, which is located in the inner membrane together with a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. CPT-1 liver or CPT1A or LCPT-1 (mouse 764-aa, rat 773-aa, human 773-aa, ~88-kda, chromosome 11q13) is malonyl-CoA-sensitive enzyme localized on the outer surface of mitochondrial 'contact sites'. It catalyzes the conversion of long-chain acyl-CoA into acyl-carnitine, committing the acyl moiety to intramitochondrial oxidation. It is predominantly expressed in kidney, liver and in trace amounts in heart. The 'muscle' isoform CPT1B or CPT1M or MCPT-1 (mouse/rat/human 772-aa, chromosome 22q13.3) is found in heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and brain. The aa sequences of the two isoforms are ~61% identical.

Small volumes of anti-CPT1C antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
