Homology |
Predicted species reactivity based on immunogen sequence: Pig: (100%), Bovine: (93%) |
Immunogen |
GPAT1 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of the human GPAT1.
The immunogen is located within amino acids 730 - 780 of GPAT1. |
Applications |
GPAT1 antibody can be used for detection of GPAT1 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples; Immunohistochemistry in mouse and rat samples and Immunofluorescence in mouse and rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested. |
Specificity |
At least four isoforms of GPAT1 are known to exist; this antibody will detect only the two largest isoforms. |

Background |
GPAT1 Antibody: Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1 (GPAT1), one of four known GPAT isoforms, is located on the mitochondrial outer membrane, allowing reciprocal regulation with carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. It is thought to be critical for the development of hepatic steatosis; steatosis triggered by GPAT1 overexpression leads to hepatic and possibly peripheral insulin resistance. GPAT1 is transcriptionally upregulated by insulin and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1) and downregulated by AMP-activated protein kinase. Mice deficient in GPAT1 exhibit decreased triacylglycerol (TAG) in cardiomyocytes even in high-fat diets, suggesting that GPAT1 contributes significantly to TAG accumulation in heart tissue during lipogenic or high fat diets. |
