ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone 1B16 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects ATP citrate synthase (ACLY). It targets an epitope within 20 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 20 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ATP-citrate synthase (ACLY).

ATP-citrate synthase (UniProt: P53396; also known as EC:2.3.3.8, ATP-citrate (pro-S-)-lyase, ACL, Citrate cleavage enzyme ACLY) is encoded by the ACLY gene (Gene ID: 47) in human. ACLY is a homotetrameric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of mitochondrial citrate into oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA. This step is a major source of cytosolic acetyl-CoA that is used in the biosynthetic pathways of fatty acids, cholesterol, and acetylcholine. ACLY is strongly expressed in liver, adipose tissue, and cholinergic neurons. Its activity is stimulated by glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. ACLY is phosphorylated by PKA and GSK3 in a sequential manner, which results in its activation. Phosphorylation on threonine 447 and serine 451 by GSK3 is reported to depend on the phosphorylation of serine 455 by PKA. ACLY also undergoes acetylation at lysine 540, 546, and 554 by lysine aetyltransferase 2B ( KAT2B/PCAF). These acetylations are promoted by glucose and lead to its stabilization, probably by inhibiting ubiquitination at these sites. Overexpression of ACLY has been reported many lipogenic tumors, including prostate, liver, breast, and ovarian cancers. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
