FATP2 rabbit pAb

Acyl CoA synthetase that activates long-chain and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) by catalyzing the formation of fatty acyl-CoA . Can also activate branched-chain fatty acids such as phytanic acid and pristanic acid . Does not activate C24 bile acids, cholate and chenodeoxycholate . In vitro, activates 3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving from the de novo synthesis from cholesterol . Exhibits long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) transport activity and plays an important role in hepatic fatty acid uptake . ; [Isoform 1]: Exhibits both long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) transport activity and acyl CoA synthetase towards very long-chain fatty acids . Shows a preference for generating CoA derivatives of n-3 fatty acids, which are preferentially trafficked into phosphatidylinositol . ; [Isoform 2]: Exhibits long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) transport activity but lacks acyl CoA synthetase towards very long-chain fatty acids.
