Anti-ACOT7 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene ACOT7 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 7) is highly expressed in the brain and testis, and is mapped to human chromosome 1p36. This gene produces many isoforms due to alternate splicing. The encoded protein is present in the cytoplasm and nucleus. It belongs to acyl-CoA hydrolases class of proteins. These proteins are mainly responsible for hydrolysis of acyl-CoA thioesters to free fatty acids and CoA-SH.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

ACOT7 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 7) is involved in fatty acid oxidation. It is a connecting link between metabolism of acyl-CoAs and cholesterol in neurons. Overexpression of this gene in macrophage cell line modulates the generation of prostaglandins D2 and E2, thereby making it a drug target in inflammatory diseases. ACOT7 has high specificity for arachido-258 noyl-CoA (AA-CoA). It might also be associated with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE).

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
