    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    ACAT1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total ACAT1 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with ACAT2 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human ACAT1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Mitochondrial acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) plays a pivotal role in ketogenesis and branched chain amino acid metabolism (1-3). Research studies have demonstrated that ACAT1 also plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism of tumor cells by directly acetylating and inhibiting the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) and PDH phosphatase, which leads to decreased carbon flux through PDH and increased glycolysis (4,5). Mechanistically, it has been shown that numerous oncogenic tyrosine kinases directly phosphorylate ACAT1 at Y407, which promotes tetramerization and stabilization of the active enzyme in order to drive glycolysis and tumor growth (5).
